    Hence Mean, variance, standard deviation who are foreign born are as

    8, 6.83,2.613 respectively

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    probability of success for foreign-born is 13.1 % p=0.131

    probability of failure = q=1-0.131=0.869

    n=60

    To Find:

    Mean, variance and standard deviation

    Solution:

    We have here binomial distribution as probability for success (p) and number of trails are given (n).

    So we know that formula for mean, variance and standard deviation of binomial distribution are as follows,

    p=0.131

    q=0.869

    n=60

    So Mean=μ = n*p

    =60*0.131

    =7.86

    Hence mean will be 7.86 which approximately 8 persons.

    Now for Variance=n*p*q

    =60*0.131*0.869

    =6.830

    So variance will be 6.83

    And for Standard deviation=Sqrt (variance) = Sqrt (n*p*q)

    =Sqrt (6.83)

    =2.613

    Hence Mean, variance, standard deviation who are foreign born are as

    8, 6.83,2.613 respectively.
