You can put this solution on YOUR website! 40 multiple choice questions, 4 possible answers for each question, only one correct answer, if random guesses for all questions, what is the mean and standard deviation for number of correct answers?
-----
mean = np = 40*(1/4) = 10
-----
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(10*(3/4) = sqrt(7.5) = 2.7386
