Q. 3The probability that an individual is left-handed is 0.13 . In a class of 70 students, what is the
mean and standard deviation of the number of left-handed students? Round to the nearest

Q. 4The amount spent on textbooks for the fall term was recorded for a sample of five hundred
university students. The mean expenditure was calculated to be 500 and the standard deviation

that their textbook expenditure was 700. Calculate the z-score for this student's textbook
expenditure.
A) -3 B) +3 C) -2 D) +2
