Toss a coin 4 times.
What is the standard deviation of the number of heads that you expect to see in those four tosses?

Hi manhhiep2509,

The GMAT is not going to ask you to calculate Standard Deviation in this way. This is the second non-GMAT question you've posted, so I'm curious if you're just taking a Stats class or if you're actually studying for the GMAT?
