a large animal preserve has noticed that an albino panther is born unpredictably once every 8 years; and that can happen at any time of the year. a) what are the expected value and standard deviation of the number of albino panthers which will be born in the next 40 years?



Answer :

The expected value of the number of albino panthers is 5

The standard deviation of the number of albino panthers is 2.09

Given that albino panther is born once every 8 years, probability p, of one albino to be born in 8 years is 1/8

Expected value=n*p, where n is 40 years, and p=1/8

                        =40*1/8

                        =5 albino panthers

Hence, the expected value is 5 albino panthers

Standard deviation=(Expected value*(1-p))^1/2

                               =(5*(1-1/8))^1/2

                               =4.375^1/2

                               =2.09

Hence, standard deviation is 2.09
