Question

Answer 1

92.8

Explanation:

Answer 2

The mean of this binomial distribution was found to be 92.82

Solution-

The distribution is given as Binomial distribution.

In binomial distribution the mean is calculated as,

`\mu_(x)=n\cdot p`

where

n = number of trials = 546

p = probability of success = 17% = 0.17

Putting the values,

`\mu_(x)=546* 0.17=92.82`

Therefore, the mean of this binomial distribution is 92.82
