- Mean = μ = np
- \({\rm{Standard\;deviation}} = {\rm{\sigma }} = \sqrt {{\rm{npq}}} {\rm{\;}}\)
- Variance = npq
Where n = number of trials; p = probability of success; q = (1-p) = probability of failure
probability of an event lies between 0 and 1.
Calculation:
As we know, Mean = μ = np
Variance = npq
⇒ Variance = μ × q
Probability of an event lies between 0 and 1.
Therefore 0 ≤ {p, q} ≤ 1
μ × q < μ
∴ Mean > Variance
