Solution

The standard deviation of a binomial distribution can be calculated using the formula:

σ = sqrt(np(1-p))

where:

  • n is the number of trials (in this case, the number of patients, which is 6)
  • p is the probability of success on each trial (in this case, the probability of a patient living till 63 years, which is 0.182)

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

σ = sqrt(60.182(1-0.182))

You can use an online calculator to compute this value.
