In a binomial experiment, the probability of success is 0.07. What is the probability of two successes in eight trials?

.0888

From the sample data, what is the variance? The mean is 6 2 9 12 5 2

19.5 First: Subtract all data by the mean 2-6=-4 2-6=-4 5-6=-1 9-6=3 12-6=6 Second: square each number -4^2=16 -4^2=16 -1^2=1 3^2=9 6^2=36 Third: Add them all up to get 78 Fourth: There are 5 things of data in the sample. Subtract 1 from 5 to get 4 Fifth: 78/4 = 19.5
