Expert Solution
Step 1

Question 2:

B.

A random sample of 20 Jamaicans are selected, 70% of Jamaicans do not think that having a college education is important to succeed in the business world. That is, n=20,p=0.70.

i.

The mean is,

μ=np=20×0.70=14

Thus, the mean is 14.

ii.

The variance is,

σ2=np1-p=20×0.70×1-0.70=14×0.30=4.2

Thus, the variance is 4.2.
