Given Information:

Probability of success = p = 75 %

Total number of students = n = 1200

Required Information:

Standard deviation = σ = ?

Answer:

Standard deviation = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In a binomial distribution, the probability of success does not change from trial to trial and the probability of events in not dependent on each other. Also the number of trials are fixed. So this problem can be modeled using binomial distribution.

The mean of the number of students who choose to enroll is given by

μ = n*p = 1200*0.75

μ = 900

The standard deviation of the number of students who choose to enroll is given by

σ = √np(1 - p)

σ = √1200*0.75(1 - 0.75)

σ =  15

Therefore, the standard deviation of the number of students who choose to enroll is 15.

BESTIES PLEASE HELP ASAP WILL GIVE POINTS AND BRAINLIEST. Express as a trinomial (2x-6) (x-4)
zaharov [31]

Answer:

2x² - 14x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last).

First, multiply the first term of both parenthesis:

2x * x = 2x²

Next, multiply the outside terms of both parenthesis:

2x * -4 = -8x

Then, multiply the inside terms of both parenthesis:

-6 * x = -6x

Finally, multiply the last terms of both parenthesis:

-6 * -4 = 24

Combine like terms:

2x² - 8x - 6x + 24

2x² (-8x - 6x) + 24

2x² (-14x) + 24

2x² - 14x + 24 is your answer.
