Problem

$\begin{aligned} \sigma_{p} & =\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} \\ & =\sqrt{\frac{0.08(1-0.08)}{256}}\end{aligned}$

Solution

Step 1 :The question is asking for the standard deviation of a binomial distribution, denoted as \(\sigma_{p}\). The formula for the standard deviation of a binomial distribution is \(\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}\), where p is the probability of success and n is the number of trials.

Step 2 :In this case, p = 0.08 and n = 256. We need to substitute these values into the formula.

Step 3 :So, \(\sigma_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{0.08(1-0.08)}{256}}\)

Step 4 :After calculating, we get \(\sigma_{p} = 0.01695582495781317\)

Step 5 :So, the final answer is \(\boxed{0.01695582495781317}\)
