In a large population of college students, 20% of the students have experienced feelings of math anxiety. If you take a random sample of 10 students from this population, the standard deviation of the number of students in the sample who have experienced math anxiety is:
Accepted Solution
A:
Hey there!:The number of students in the sample who have experienced math anxiety is a binomial distribution
Bin (n , p) where n = 10 and p = 0.2
The mean of a binomial distribution is np = 2
The variance is np (1- p) = 1.6 so the standard deviation is √ 1.6 = 1.265
mean=2; standard deviation= 1.265Hope this helps!
