For wich of the binomial distributions listed below is the normal distribution a reasonable approximation? A0 n=60, p 0.4; n= 45, p=0.1; n=80, p= 0.1, n=30, n=0.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

large sample, small probability

OpenStudy (nottim):

lookin thru book right now. gimme moment.

OpenStudy (nottim):

Ok...I dunno how.

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

the sample should be large and probability small doesnt that explain man?

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

so the distribution satisfying the above condition is your answer

OpenStudy (nottim):

What.

OpenStudy (nottim):

So, no real math involved???

OpenStudy (akshay_budhkar):

i believe no

OpenStudy (nottim):

A) n=60, p=0.4 for the above question, where "For wich of the binomial distributions listed below is the normal distribution a reasonable approximation? " Ignore rest of question, that mistake on my part.

OpenStudy (nottim):

ITs reasonable as long as np>5 right?

OpenStudy (nottim):
