Mean 20
Standard deviation
Explanation:
=(20)*(0.9)
=18
If the random variable X follows the binomial distribution with parameters and , tthe probability of getting exactly k successes in n trials, is given by
The mean is calculated from E(X).
The standard deviation comes from the square root of the variance,

The mean and standard deviation of a binomial probability distribution with
n=200....(1)
p=0.3....(2)
can be determined as follows.
We know that the mean of a binomial probability distribution is given as:
...(3)
And the standard deviation of a binomial probability distribution is given as:
...(4)
Substituting (1) and (2) in (3), we get:
Substituting (1) and (2) in (4), we get:
