Consider a basketball game where a player throws from the free throw line. Her success rate is 65%. If she throws 10 times in a game determine the following:The mean and standard deviation of this binomial distribution.
p=.65 and q =.35 and n=10
Mean is np
.65 X 10= 6.5
Therefore mean is 6.5
SD = the square root of (npq)
.65 X 10 X .35 =2.275
Therefore Standard deviation is 2.275
Is this correct?
