Solution:
The mean of the binomial distribution is interpreted as the mean number of successes for the distribution. To find the mean, use the formula
where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success on a single trial. Substituting values for this problem, we have
Multiplying the expression we have
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is interpreted as the standard deviation of the number of successes for the distribution. To find the standard deviation, use the formula
where n is the umber of trials and p is the probability of success on a single trial. Substituting values fo this problem, we have
Evaluating the expression on the right, we have
