  1. Now use the binomial formulas below to find the mean and standard deviation when n = 5 and p = 0.02.

 

## Understanding Binomial Distribution

### Mean

The mean (denoted by \(\mu\)) of a binomial distribution can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Mean} = \mu = n \cdot p \]
where:
- \(n\) = number of trials
- \(p\) = probability of success on a single trial

### Standard Deviation

The standard deviation (denoted by \(\sigma\)) of a binomial distribution is given by the formula:
\[ \text{Standard Deviation} = \sigma = \sqrt{n p q} \]
where:
- \(n\) = number of trials
- \(p\) = probability of success on a single trial
- \(q\) = probability of failure on a single trial (which is \(1 - p\))
