Answer:
6.07 people
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion of people 'p' with the genetic mutation in the population is 0.08. For a sample size of n = 500 people, the standard deviation for the sample is determined by:
[tex]s=\sqrt{n*p*(1-p)} \\s=\sqrt{500*0.08*(1-0.08)} \\s=6.07\ people[/tex]
The standard deviation for people with the mutation in the sample is 6.07 people.
