A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. Suppose that 40% of the incoming calls involve fax messages, and consider a sample of 25 incoming calls. (a) What is the expected number of calls among the 25 that involve a fax message? E(X) = 10 (b) What is the standard deviation of the number among the 25 calls that involve a fax message? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) ?X = 2.449
