A quiz consists of 40 multiple choice questions, each with five possible answers, only one of which is correct. If a student guesses on each question, what is the mean and standard deviation of the number of correct answers? Round to the nearest thousandth.

8 and 2.529

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the mean and the standard deviation is shown below:

Given that

Total number of questions is n =  40

The Probability of correct answer is p =  

So, the probability of the wrong answer is q =   =

Moreover, this is the binomial distribution

Based on the above information

The mean is

= 8

Now the variance is

=

So, the standard deviation is

= 2.529

hence, the mean and the standard deviation is 8 and 2.529 respectively

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
