According to an​ almanac,60​%of adult smokers started smoking before turning 18 years old.   ​(a) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable​ X, the number of smokers who started before 18 in 200 trials of the probability experiment. ​(b) Interpret the mean. ​(c) Would it be unusual to observe 180 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 200 adult​ smokers? Why?
