Question

I am reviewing old problem sets that I was attempting, and am having a trouble of thinking in perspective to what I could be doing wrong with the problem sets provided in the image.

Suppose that a shipment of 19 calculators is received by a school. Suppose also that 36% of all calculators
have dead batteries.
Relevant formulas: μ = np, σ = √√npq, where q = 1 − p.
(a) Fill in the values below.
n = 0.64
Sorry, your answer is wrong... The number of trials is an integer. Find it in the problem description.
p = 6.84
Sorry, your answer is wrong... The probability of "success" should be a decimal number. You might
have forgotten to divide by 100?
q = 2.09
Sorry
☑
your answer is wrong... Use the formula q = 1-p, where p is the value you just found.
(b) What is the mean (or expected value) of the number of calculators received by the school that have
dead batteries.
Do not round.
(c) What is the standard deviation of the number of calculators received by the school that have dead
batteries.
Round to 2 decimal places.
