Answer:

The mean and standard deviation of the number of accounts error is:

  • mean = 362,000
  • standard deviation = 19

Explanation:

the parameters are:

  • n = number of accounts = 362,000
  • p = probability of error = 0.001

mean of the number of account errors = E(X) = np = (362,000 x 0.001) = 362

standard deviation = āˆš[np(1 - p)] = āˆš[362(1 - 0.001)] = āˆš[362(0.999)] = āˆš361.638 = 19.02 ā‰ˆ 19
