Question

Suppose we have a binomial experiment in which success is defined to be a particular quality or attribute that interests us. (a) Suppose n = 39 and p = 0.18. Can we approximate p̂ by a normal distribution? Why? (Use 2 decimal places.) np = nq = , p̂ be approximated by a normal random variable because . What are the values of μp̂ and σp̂? (Use 3 decimal places.) μp̂ = σp̂ = (b) Suppose n = 25 and p = 0.15. Can we safely approximate p̂ by a normal distribution? Why or why not? , p̂ be approximated by a normal random variable because . (c) Suppose n = 61 and p = 0.26. Can we approximate p̂ by a normal distribution? Why? (Use 2 decimal places.) np = nq = , p̂ be approximated by a normal random variable because . What are the values of μp̂ and σp̂? (Use 3 decimal places.) μp̂ = σp̂ =
