Question 458592: Given a binomial distribution with n = 125 and p = 0.04, would the normal distribution provide a reasonable approximation? Why or why not?

That depends on the criteria used in your text.
Some use np must be greater than 10
Your np = 5 so the normal would not be appropriate
under the np>10 criteria.
