Respuesta :

The numerical values of the mean and standard deviation are 4 and 1.55, respectively

The numerical value of the probability that x = 6.

The given parameters are:

n = 10

π = 0.4

The probability is then calculated as:

[tex]P(x) = ^nC_x * \pi^x *(1-\pi)^{n-x}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(6) = ^{10}C_6 * 0.4^6 *(1-0.4)^4[/tex]

Apply the combination formula

[tex]P(6) = \frac{10!}{6!4!} * 0.4^6 *0.6^4[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(6) = 210 * 0.4^6 *0.6^4[/tex]

Evaluate

P(6) = 0.1115

Hence, the numerical value of the probability that x = 6 is 0.1115

The numerical values of the mean and standard deviation

The mean value is:

[tex]\bar x = n\pi[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\bar x = 10 * 0.4[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 4[/tex]

The standard deviation value is:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\bar x(1-\pi)[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{4(1-0.4)[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 1.55[/tex]

Hence, the numerical values of the mean and standard deviation are 4 and 1.55, respectively
