    Given:

    n = 13, the number of questions

    p = 1/4, probability of guessing a correct answer among 4 choices.

    q = 3/4, probability of guessing an incorrect answer (q = 1 - p).

    The problem is modeled by a binomial distribution.

    The mean value is μ = np.

    The standard deviation is √ (npq).

    For the given problem, the standard deviation is

    √ (13 * (1/4) * (3/4)) = 1.561

    Answer: 1.56 (nearest hunderdth)
