Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
This is an incomplete problem
The known facts
- the sum of Natalie's age and Fred's age is 36
- the sum of Fred's age times four and Natalie's age is 72
Now, let's set up the equations where N is Natalie's age and F is Fred's age.
N + F = 36 ---- equation 1
N + 4F = 72 ---- equation 2
equation 2 minus equation 1 ---> 3F = 36 ---> F = 12, thus N = 24
Thus Fred is 12 years old, and Natalie is 24 years old.
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the mean and the standard deviation of variable x are given as follows:

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>
It is the probability of exactly <u>x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
E(X) = np
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

In this problem, we have that the parameters are given as follows:
n = 4, p = 0.75.
Hence the mean and the standard deviation are given as follows:
- E(X) = np = 4 x 0.75 = 3.
