Answer 1

Hello there. Sorry from last time.

What is the standard deviation of the possible outcomes? Roundyour answer to two decimal places.

B.12.55

Answer 2

Answer: B. 12.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In a binomial event , the probability of success = 0.3

i.e. p =0.3

Then, q=1-P=1-03=0.7

The total number of trial performed n= 750

Now, the standard deviation of the proportion is given by :-

$\sigma=\sqrt{npq}\\\\\Rightarrow\sigma=\sqrt{750\times0.3\times0.7}\\\\\Rightarrow\sigma=\sqrt{157.5}\\\\\Rightarrow\sigma=12.5499003\approx12.55$

Hence, the standard deviation of the possible outcomes = 12.55
