Solution:

The mean of the binomial distribution is interpreted as the mean number of successes for the distribution. To find the mean, use the formula μ=np where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success on a single trial. Substituting values for this problem, we have μ=60.65 Multiplying the expression we have μ=3.9

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is interpreted as the standard deviation of the number of successes for the distribution. To find the standard deviation, use the formula σ=np(1p) where n is the umber of trials and p is the probability of success on a single trial. Substituting values fo this problem, we have σ=60.65(10.65) Evaluating the expression on the right, we have σ=1.365) σ=1.1683321445548

To complete a binomial distribution table, first identify all of the possible values of X. Since there are 6 trials, the values of X range from X = 0 to X = 6.

Next, find each individual binomial probability for each value of X. In this problem, we will be finding 7 probabilities. The sum of all these probabilities will be 1.


P(0) Probability of exactly 0 successes

If using a calculator, you can enter trials=6, p=0.65, and X=0 into a binomial probability distribution function (binomPDF). If doing this by hand, apply the binomial probability formula: P(X)=(nX)pX(1p)nX The binomial coefficient, (nX) is defined by (nX)=n!X!(nX)! The full binomial probability formula with the binomial coefficient is P(X)=n!X!(nX)!pX(1p)nX where n is the number of trials, p is the probability of success on a single trial, and X is the number of successes. Substituting in values for this problem, n=6, p=0.65, and X=0. P(0)=6!0!(60)!0.650(10.65)60 Remember, 0! is 1. Evaluating the expression, we have P(0)=0.001838265625
