Let x be a random variable from a binomial distribution with n = 40 and p = 0.9. If a normal approximation is appropriate, give the distribution of x' that would be used in the approximation.
a) x' ~ N(40, 0.92)
b) x' ~ N(36, 3.62)
c) x' ~ N(36, 1.92)
d) normal approximation is not appropriate
For normal approximation of the binomial distribution we need two conditions to be met,
np>5 and np(1-p) >5
Here, np= 40"0.9 = 36
And np(1-p) = 3.6
Since the second condition is not met, option d) is correct.
