Note: this is a descrption of scenario only. You need to use the software to get excel values of mean and standard deviaiton. I do not have any software now.
Scebario: step 1: suppose we flip a coin 1000 times. Let head=1 and tail=0. So now we record the number of heads and tails. The population includes 1000 values with either 0 or 1. Then we calculate the mean, standard deviation of the population with 1000 data using software. The shape of the population ...
