The probability that a woman between the ages of 25 and 29 never
married is 40%. i.e. p = 0.40 and q = 1 - 0.40 = 0.60
Given n = 10. The given data follows a Binomial distribution.
Mean = np = 10*0.40 = 4
SD = ?variance = ?npq = ?10*0.4*0.6 =1.549
So, out of a sample of 10 random women in that age group, how
