Question 710922: Given a binomial distribution with n = 33 and p = 0.85, would the normal distribution provide a reasonable approximation? Why or why not? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Conditions:
np is certainly greater than 5
---
Is nq > 5 ??
---
33*0.15 = 4.95
-------
That does not meet the criteria than nq > 5.
==============
Conclusion: normal approximation not suitable.
