Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard deviation for a binomial distribution is calculated using the formula: √(n * p * (1-p)), where n is the number of trials (20 questions), and p is the probability of success (1/4 for each question). Thus, the standard deviation is √(20 * 0.25 * 0.75) = √3.75 ≈ 1.9.
