Question
### Binomial Experiment Probability Calculation

In this exercise, we will explore how to determine the probability of a certain number of successes in a binomial experiment. Here is the problem setup and instructions for Part 1 of the exercise.

#### Problem Setup
A binomial experiment is defined by:
- The number of trials, \(n\).
- The probability of success in each trial, \(p\).

Given the parameters:
- \(n = 10\) (number of trials)
- \(p = 0.2\) (success probability for each trial)

#### Instructions
**Part 1 of 3:**

(a) **Determine the Probability \(P(2)\):**  
Calculate the probability of exactly 2 successes in 10 trials and round your answer to at least three decimal places.

\[ P(2) = \]

**Note:** 
No graphs or diagrams are provided in this part of the question. Simply input the calculated probability value.

Use the following binomial probability formula for calculation:

\[ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k} \]

Where:
- \( \binom{n}{k} \) is the binomial coefficient.
- \( k \) is the number of successes.

**Example Calculation:**
For \( n = 10 \), \( p = 0.2 \), and \( k = 2 \):

\[ P(2) = \binom{10}{2} (0.2)^2 (0.8)^8 \]

Ensure your answer reflects a rounded value to at least three decimal places before inputting it into the provided box.

### Binomial Experiment Analysis

**Context**:
A binomial experiment is conducted with a given number of trials \( n \) and a given success probability \( p \).

Given data:
- Number of trials, \( n = 10 \)
- Success probability, \( p = 0.2 \)

#### Part 1 of 3
**(a) Determine the Probability \( P(2) \)**

Calculate the probability of exactly 2 successes in 10 trials. The answer should be rounded to at least three decimal places.
\[ P(2) = \boxed{0.302} \]

#### Part 2 of 3
**(b) Find the Mean**

Calculate the mean number of successes and round the answer to two decimal places.

Incorrect Example:
\[ \text{The mean is} \ \boxed{0.2}. \]

Correct Answer:
\[ \text{The mean is} \ \boxed{2.00}. \]

#### Part 3 of 3
**(c) Find the Variance and Standard Deviation**

Calculate the variance and standard deviation of the number of successes. The variance should be rounded to two decimal places, and the standard deviation should be rounded to at least three decimal places.

- The variance is \( \boxed{1.6} \)
- The standard deviation is \( \boxed{1.265} \)
