    The mean and standard deviation of the number of accounts error is:

    mean = 362,000 standard deviation = 19

    Explanation:

    the parameters are:

    n = number of accounts = 362,000 p = probability of error = 0.001

    mean of the number of account errors = E (X) = np = (362,000 x 0.001) = 362

    standard deviation = √[np (1 - p) ] = √[362 (1 - 0.001) ] = √[362 (0.999) ] = √361.638 = 19.02 ≈ 19
