Question
A college reported that 40% of its population is male. Nine students are
selected at random. (Consider "male" to be the success criteria in this
example.)
• The mean is
The standard deviation is
(Round to the nearest hundredth, if
necessary.)
• Because the distribution has a probability of success (P(S)) that is
close to .5
• , the distribution is
skewed left(negative skew) +
Use the probability distribution table to find the following probabilities.
