Answer

Final Answer: The mean, \(\mu\), is \(\boxed{99.1}\). The variance, \(\sigma^{2}\), is \(\boxed{21.8}\). The standard deviation, \(\sigma\), is \(\boxed{4.7}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given that the number of trials, \(n\), is 127 and the probability of success, \(p\), is 0.78.

Step 2 :We can calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation of a binomial distribution using the formulas: Mean: \(\mu = np\), Variance: \(\sigma^{2} = np(1-p)\), Standard Deviation: \(\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}\).

Step 3 :Substitute \(n=127\) and \(p=0.78\) into the formulas to find the mean, variance, and standard deviation.

Step 4 :The mean, \(\mu\), is calculated as \(127*0.78 = 99.06\).

Step 5 :The variance, \(\sigma^{2}\), is calculated as \(127*0.78*(1-0.78) = 21.7932\).

Step 6 :The standard deviation, \(\sigma\), is calculated as \(\sqrt{127*0.78*(1-0.78)} = 4.668318755183711\).

Step 7 :Round the mean, variance, and standard deviation to the nearest tenth as needed.

Step 8 :Final Answer: The mean, \(\mu\), is \(\boxed{99.1}\). The variance, \(\sigma^{2}\), is \(\boxed{21.8}\). The standard deviation, \(\sigma\), is \(\boxed{4.7}\).
