You play a game of chance in which you can either win or lose (there are no other possibilities). The probability of winning is 0.22. What is the standard deviation of X, where X is the number of times one needs to play a game until one gets the first win?
The average student loan debt for college graduates is $25,750. Suppose that that distribution is normal and that the standard deviation is $10,350.
