I found the expected value of this problem to be 11.68 however I do not quite understand how to get the standard deviation, can someone please help? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Binomial Distibution
p = .73 , n = 16
mean = 11.68 0r 12 (reference is 'People')
sd = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(16*.73*.27) = 1.77.. 0r sd = 2
