Answer:

A) μ = 91.2; σ = 9.3

B) No

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, μ, we use the formula

μ = np, where n is the sample size and p is the probability of success (percentage of times the letter is used).

This gives us

μ = 0.057(1600) = 91.2

To find the standard deviation, we use the formula

σ = √(np(1-p)

This gives us

σ = √(1600×0.057×(1-0.057))

= √(1600×0.057×0.943) = √86.0016 = 9.2737 ≈ 9.3≈

Any value that is more than two standard deviations from the mean is considered unusual.  The value 102 is

(102-91.2)/9.3 = 10.8/9.3 = 1.16 standard deviations from the mean.  This is not statistically unusual.
