I just returned from a deployment and I can't for the life of me remember how to do problems like these.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A coin has 30% chance to land on head if it is freely tossed. Let X be the number of heads on which it lands in 10 tosses. Find the mean and standard deviation of X.
-----
Binomial Problem with n = 10 and p(heads) = 0.6
----
mean = n*p = 10*0.6 = 6
-----
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(6*0.4) = sqrt(2.4) = 1.5491
