a. Assume that x is a binomial random variable with p=0.20 and n=100
The formula for mean in binomial distribution is, 
μ=np
p - the probability of successб n - the number of trials. 
The fortula for standart deviatios
=surdnp(1p). 
The value of mean
μ=100×0.20=20 
The value of standart deviation
σ=surd(100×(0.20×0.80))=surd16=4
