Binomial distribution with mean and standard deviation

79 Views Asked by At

Can anyone help me with homework? I can`t catch a basic idea of the next exercise: $$ X\thicksim Bin(20,0.2)\\P(|X-\mu|\le\sigma)=? $$ Can anyone at least explain how it opens,please?

Hint: We have for a Binomial distribution; $$E(X)=\mu=n \cdot p$$ $$Var(X)=\sigma^2=n\cdot p \cdot (1-p)$$
