About 4% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 1000 people are randomly selected.
Find the mean for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 1000. (Remember that means should be rounded to one more decimal place than the raw data.)

Step 1
Let X be the number of people with particular genetic mutation and it follows binomial distribution with probability given as
p=4%
=0.04
Step 2
If n=1000, then the mean using binomial distribution is
Mean=np
=1000×0.04
=40
