Question 864262: Binomial Distribution:
If anyone can answer this question, thank you so much!
A bag contains 5 balls of which 2 are red. A ball is selected at a random. It's color noted and then replaced in the bag. This process is carried out 50 times. Find:
(a) the mean number of red balls selected.
answer: 20
(b) the standard deviation of the number of red balls selected.
answer: 3.4641
Thanks once again!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
p(red) = 2/5, n = 50
m = %282%2F5%2950 = 20
sd = sqrt%2820%283%2F5%29%29 = 3.4641
