1. Finding μ, σ, and Unusual Values.
Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with N trials and the probability of success for one trial is P. Use the given values of N and P to find the mean N and standard deviation σ, Also, use the range rule of thumb to find the minimum usual value μ - 2σ and the maximum usual value μ + 2σ.

N=767, P= 1/6
