The probability that a patient recover from a rare blood disease is 0.6. It is known that 100 people have contracted this disease. It is desired to find the probability that less than one half survive. For easier computations, normal distribution is used to approximate this binomial distribution. Find the value of the standard deviation

A homeowner has installed a new energy-efficient furnace. It is estimated that over a year the new furnace will reduce energy costs by an amount that can be regarded as a random variable with a mean of $200 and a standard deviation of $60. Stating any assumptions you need to make, find the mean and standard deviation of the total energy cost reductions over a period of 5 years.
