Binomial Mean Stddev
1. **Problem Statement:**
Calculate the expected value $E(X)$ and the standard deviation $\sigma$ for a binomial random variable $X$ with parameters $n=10$ and $p=0.94$.
2. **Formulas Used:**
- Expected value: $$E(X) = np$$
- Standard deviation: $$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$$
3. **Calculate Expected Value:**
Substitute $n=10$ and $p=0.94$ into the formula:
$$E(X) = 10 \times 0.94 = 9.4$$
This means on average, we expect 9.4 successes out of 10 trials.
4. **Calculate Standard Deviation:**
Substitute $n=10$ and $p=0.94$:
$$\sigma = \sqrt{10 \times 0.94 \times (1 - 0.94)} = \sqrt{10 \times 0.94 \times 0.06} = \sqrt{0.564} \approx 0.75$$
The standard deviation measures the variability around the expected value.
5. **Rounding:**
Both answers are already rounded to two decimal places.
**Final answers:**
- (a) Expected value $E(X) = 9.4$
- (b) Standard deviation $\sigma = 0.75$
