Twice a number can be written as 2n.

Four times the number can be written as 4n.

If the sum of 2n and 4n equals 54, then:

6n = 54

Divide both sides by 6 to solve for n:

n = 9

number is 9

2n+4n=54

6n=54

n=9

About 6% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 600 people are randomly selected. find the standard deviation for

Rina8888 [55]

Assume a binomial distribution. Then the mean of the distribution is $np$ , where $n$ is the number of people taken in a sample and $p$ is the probability of the mutation occurring in any given person, and the standard deviation is $\sqrt{np(1-p)}$ . Then in this case, the standard deviation is $\sqrt{600(0.06)(0.94)}\approx5.82$ .
