Assuming you want the standard deviation for the number of successes, given p=0.5: #exact 0.5 * sqrt (n) #numerical approximation sd (rbinom (1e6, n, 0.5) ) Note that variance should be linear in n. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
