Question 245729: Why is the normal distribution not a good approximation of a binomial distribution that has a value of p close to 0 or 1? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Normal is a symmetric distribution
p = 0 is heavily skewed to the left
and p = 1 is heavily skewed to the right.
