Answer

Mean:12. Standard deviation:3.1. Minimum usual value:5.8, maximum usual value:18.2.

Work Step by Step

Mean=$n\cdot p=60 \cdot 0.2=12$. Standard deviation: $\sqrt{n \cdot p \cdot (1-p)}=\sqrt{60 \cdot 0.2 \cdot 0.8}=3.1.$ If a value is unusual, then it is more than two standard deviations far from the mean. $Minimum \ usual \ value=mean-2\cdot(standard \ deviation)=12-2\cdot3.1=5.8$ $Maximum \ usual \ value=mean+2\cdot(standard \ deviation)=12+2\cdot3.1=18.2$.
