76​% of U.S. adults think that political correctness is a problem in America today. You randomly select six U.S. adults and ask them whether they think that political correctness is a problem in America today. The random variable represents the number of U.S. adults who think that political correctness is a problem in America today. Answer the questions below.

Answer:

[tex]E(x) = 4.56[/tex] --- Mean

[tex]s^2 = 1.0944[/tex] --- Variance

[tex]s = 1.0461[/tex] --- Standard Deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

See Comment for missing details

Given

[tex]p = 0.76[/tex] --- proportion

[tex]n = 6[/tex] -- sample

Solving (a): The mean; E(x)

This is calculated as:

[tex]E(x) = n * p[/tex]

Substitute values for n and p

[tex]E(x) = 6 * 0.76[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 4.56[/tex]

Solving (b): The variance; s^2

This is calculated as:

[tex]s^2 = n*p*(1-p)[/tex]

Substitute values for n and p

[tex]s^2 = 6 * 0.76 * (1-0.76)[/tex]

[tex]s^2 = 6 * 0.76 * 0.24[/tex]

[tex]s^2 = 1.0944[/tex]

Solving (c): The standard deviation; s

This is calculated as:

[tex]s = \sqrt{s^2[/tex]

Substitute value for s^2

[tex]s = \sqrt{1.0944[/tex]

[tex]s = 1.0461[/tex]
