    Yeah I did that!

    And for the mean and SD question I got 1890.625 = mean, 890 something = sd.
    I got the same mean as youuu but my sd was like 849.. did you remember to divide by n-1? rather than just n?

    Not sure but the previous ones would suggest that it would be around 55-60 depending on how everyone did.

    Yeah, I probably did get 849. Just can't remember :P Mixing up 1890 and 890 :P

    For the 20 people with the browser question, what did people do?

    I did 1 - P(X=0) with X~B(n,p)

    to get 1 - 20C0 * 0.08^0 * 0.92^20 which just = 1 - 0.92^20 = 0.8113
