A school is sending 11 children to a camp. if 20% of the children in the school are first graders, what is the mean and standard deviation of the number of first graders going to camp? round to two decimal places.

Respuesta :

Total number of students = n = 11
Proportion of first graders = p = 20% = 0.2

Mean number of first graders going to camp will be = np

Using the given values, we get:

Mean = 11(0.2) = 2.20

Standard deviation can be calculated as:

[tex]s= \sqrt{np(1-p)} [/tex]

Using the values, we get:

[tex]s= \sqrt{11(0.2)(0.8}=1.33[/tex]

Therefore, the mean will be 2.20 and standard deviation will be 1.33 of the number of first graders going to camp.

Answer:

Total number of students = n = 11

Proportion of first graders = p = 20% = 0.2
