Question 439158: Given the binomial distribution with n = 14 and p = 0.37, would the normal distribution provide a reasonable approximation? Why or why not?

The normal distribution will not provide a reasonable approximation, because the sample size is less than 30 (small-sample). Also, the histogram of the binomial distribution for n = 14 with p = 0.37 is considerably skewed to the left, whereas the normal distribution is symmetric.
