A random variable following a binomial distribution over n trials with success probability p has PMF

f_X(x)=\dbinom nxp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Because it's a proper probability distribution, you know that the sum of all the probabilities over the distribution's support must be 1, i.e.

\displaystyle\sum_xf_X(x)=\sum_{x=0}^n\binom nxp^x(1-p)^{n-x}=1

The mean is given by the expected value of the distribution,

\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_xf_X(x)=\sum_{x=0}^nx\binom nxp^x(1-p)^{n-x}
\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^nx\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}
\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^n\frac{n!}{(x-1)!(n-x)!}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}
\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle np\sum_{x=1}^n\frac{(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}p^{x-1}(1-p)^{(n-1)-(x-1)}
\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle np\sum_{x=0}^n\frac{(n-1)!}{x!((n-1)-x)!}p^x(1-p)^{(n-1)-x}
\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle np\sum_{x=0}^n\binom{n-1}xp^x(1-p)^{(n-1)-x}
\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle np\sum_{x=0}^{n-1}\binom{n-1}xp^x(1-p)^{(n-1)-x}

The remaining sum has a summand which is the PMF of yet another binomial distribution with n-1 trials and the same success probability, so the sum is 1 and you're left with

\mathbb E(x)=np=126\times0.27=34.02

You can similarly derive the variance by computing \mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2, but I'll leave that as an exercise for you. You would find that \mathbb V(X)=np(1-p), so the variance here would be

\mathbb V(X)=125\times0.27\times0.73=24.8346

The standard deviation is just the square root of the variance, which is

\sqrt{\mathbb V(X)}=\sqrt{24.3846}\approx4.9834

What is the solution of the system y=-3x 3x+2y=6
irinina [24]
I like to solve these by graphing, so if you graph both of these functions (as shown in the picture below), you look for the intersection between the two graphs, which in this case is (-2,6).
