9. One of the initial clinical trials of the anti-math anxiety drug SHOVITALL™ tested for the presence of headaches as a side effect. In the trial, 450 subjects were treated with 80mg of the drug, and 2.2% of the subjects developed headaches. In the binomial distribution of these 450 subjects, what are the mean and standard deviation? Use ∏ = 0.022

Answers: Mean = _______________ Standard Deviation = _________________

10. Multiple Choice: According to the American Chemical Society, there is a 0.9 probability that in the United States, a single randomly selected $1 dollar bill is tainted with traces of cocaine. Assume eight $1 dollar bills are randomly selected. What is the probability that at least six (6) of the $1 dollar bills randomly selected will be tainted with traces of cocaine?

A. P (≥ 6) = 0.962 C. P (≥ 6) = 0.149

B. P (≥ 6) = 0.750 D. P (≥ 6) = 0.813

Answer: _________________________
