Basic Computation: Normal Approximation to a Binomial Distribution Suppose we have a binomial experiment with n = 40 trials and a
of success p = 0.50.
(a) Is it appropriate to use a normal approximation to this binomial distribution? Why?
(b) Compute
(c) Use a continuity correction factor to convert the statement
(d) Estimate
(c) Interpretation Is it unusual for a binomial experiment with 40 trials and probability of success 0.50 to have 23 or more successes? Explain.
