Question 733948
1.)In the formula for the variance Σ (x – µ)^2/n, what is the sum if we don’t square the (x - µ) values? [Hint: There is a special name for this sum.]
-----
Ans: The sum is always zero.  
Try it with the set of numbers 1,2,3 and you'll see why it is zero.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
2.)Consider the binomial distribution where n = 11 and p = 0.05. 
Find the mean and standard deviation of this binomial distribution.
mean = np = 11*0.05 = 0.55
----
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(0.55*0.95) = 72.28..
Cheers,
Stan H.
