Answer

a. mean=$75$, variance=$18.75$, standard deviation=$4.33$ b. mean=$90$, variance=$63$, standard deviation=$7.94$ c. mean=$10$, variance=$5$, standard deviation=$2.24$ d. condition does not meet.

Work Step by Step

a. $n=100, p=0.75, q=0.25, np=75, nq=25$ mean=$np=75$ variance=$npq=18.75$ standard deviation=$\sqrt {npq}=4.33$ b. $n=300, p=0.3, q=0.7, np=90, nq=210$ mean=$np=90$ variance=$npq=63$ standard deviation=$\sqrt {npq}=7.94$ c. $n=20, p=0.5,q=0.5, np=10, nq=10$ mean=$np=10$ variance=$npq=5$ standard deviation=$\sqrt {npq}=2.24$ d. $n=10, p=0.8, q=0.2, np=8, nq=2\lt5$ condition does not meet.
