Answer #1

Researchers belive that 70% of all Americans belive in God.

Hence p=70%=0.7

Now we take random sample of 40

Hence n=40

And X equal the number of people belive in god.

So X~B(n=40,p=0.7)

This is binomial distribution with n=40 and p=0.7

Mean =np =40*0.7=28

Mean of X = 28

Standard deviation of X is √(npq)=√8.4=2.898

Standard deviation of X = 2.898=2.9
