Math Problem Statement
Find the standard deviation of the binomial distribution.
Solution
The standard deviation of a binomial distribution can be found using the formula:
where:
- is the number of trials,
- is the probability of success on a single trial,
- is the probability of failure.
Steps to find the standard deviation:
- Identify the number of trials .
- Determine the probability of success .
- Substitute these values into the formula.
- Calculate the square root of the product .
