Answer:

Mean = 21.3

Standard Deviation = 2.48

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

p = 71​% = 0.71

Sample size, n = 30

We have to find the mean and the standard deviation of those that wear​ glasses.


\text{Mean} = np\\=30(0.71)\\=21.3

Thus, the mean of those who wear glasses is 21.3


\text{Standard deviation} = √(npq)\\=√(np(1-p))\\=√(30* 0.71* (1-0.71))\\=2.48

Thus, the standard deviation of those who wear glasses is 2.48
