AP Statistics, Section Normal Approximation of Binomial Distribution Remember
AP Statistics, Section Normal Approximation of Binomial Distribution As the number of trials n gets larger, the binomial distribution gets close to a normal distribution. Question: What value of n is big enough? The book does not say, so let’s see how the close two calculations are…
AP Statistics, Section Example: A recent survey asked a nationwide random sample of 2500 adults if they agreed or disagreed that “I like buying new clothes, but shopping is often frustrating and time-consuming.” Suppose that in fact 60% of all adults would “agree”. What is the probability that 1520 or more of the sample “agree”.
