Question on test---standard deviation
Was hoping someone could help me out with a question. It was on a online test and the answer i got i wasnt sure if it was the right answer.
The question was as follows:
The no-show rate for passengers with reservations on a flight run by wizair is 16%. The next flight has 42 reservations.
Find the standard deviation of the number of no-shows for this flight.
Answers:
A-5.940
B-5645
C-2.376
D-2.592
E-35.28
F-6.72
G-4.218
H-3.124
what i did was calculate the mean number of no-shows for the flight
(16%)*42=6.72
and to calculate the standard deviation for number no-shows on that flight i took the square root of the mean number of no-shows for the flight
sqrt(6.72)=2.592
so what I've done is it correct?
