Problem 6BSC
Finding μ, σ, and Unusual Values. In Exercises, assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with n trials and the probability of success for one trial is p. Use the given values of n and p to find the mean μ and standard deviation σ . Also, use the range ruh of thumb to find the minimum usual value μ – 2σ and the maximum usual value μ – 2 σ.
Gender Selection In an analysis of preliminary test results from the XSORT gender-selection method, 14 babies are born and it is assumed that 50% of babies are girls, so n = 14 and p = 0.5.

Gender Selection In an analysis of preliminary test results from the XSORT gender-selection method, 14 babies are born and it is assumed that 50% of babies are girls, so n = 14 and p = 0.5.
ANSWER:Answer :
Step 1 of 2:
Given, In an analysis of preliminary test results from the XSORT gender-selection method, 14 babies are born and it is assumed that 50% of babies are girls, so n = 14 and p = 0.5.
The procedure yields a binomial distribution.
Where, mean = = np = 14(0.5)
= 7
Variance = npq
