Question 801862: A die is rolled 18 times with the amount of times that 2 comes up tallied. If this experiment is repeated many times, what is the mean and the standard deviation for the random variable X, the number of twos?
I know that n=18 and p=1/6.
P(X=2)

P(X=2)
--------
mean = np = 18*(1/6) = 3
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(3(5/6)) = sqrt(5/2) =1.5811
