This is a binomial experiment.
In a binomial experiment, as long as np and nq are both > 5, the mean (expected value) = np.
(3458)(.397) = ≈ 1373.
The answer is B.
Remember that 𝜎 2 =𝑛𝑝𝑞 and 𝜎= 𝑛𝑝𝑞

2) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation using the table above.
To construct a confidence interval for variance and/or standard deviation, we use the Chi-Square distribution formula.
(𝑛−1)( 𝑠 2 ) 𝑋 𝑅 2 < 𝜎 2 < (𝑛−1)( 𝑠 2 ) 𝑋 𝐿 2 ; 𝑋 𝐿 2 and 𝑋 𝑅 2 come from the 𝑋 2 chart.
1−𝑐 2 and 1+𝑐 2 tell us which columns to look in, and the Degrees of Freedom (n –1) tell us which row to look in.
We look in the columns for 0.95 and .05, and in the 13th row.
