Hi,
n=50, p=0.25, x=25

P(25) =
126410606437752
P(25) = = .0000845
Note: We can use the normal distribution as a close approximation to the
binomial distribution whenever n*p ≥ 5 and nq ≥ 5.
.25*50 = 12.5 and .75*50 = 37.5
Yes, We can use the normal distribution as a close approximation to the
binomial distribution
