binomial distribution for the counts with the same number of trials, n, and probability of success, p. Be sure to derive the formulas for the mean and standard deviations of the binomial distribution for the proportion,p(hat)x.Use the fact that if the random variable X= {1,2,3...n}, then the random variable p(hat)x={0/n, 1/n, 2/n...n/n=1} or, rather, that every value of the first variable has been multiplied

1. Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 10.0 minutes and standard deviation of 4.0 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 41, customers in the first line and m₂ = 51 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line and the mean service time for the longer X₂ one ¹2 is more than 0.4 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables.
