A Normal distribution to approximate probabilities for a binomial distribution with the given values of n = 100 and p = 0.2.

Given that,

Normal distribution to approximate probabilities for a binomial distribution with the given values of n and p.

We have to determine,

In which of the following situations would it be appropriate to use a normal distribution to approximate probabilities for a binomial distribution with the given values of n and p.

According to the question,

Probabilities for a binomial distribution with the given values of n and p.

(a) n = 10, p = 0.5

(b) n = 40, p = 0.88

(d) n = 100, p = 0.99

(e) n = 1000, p = 0.003

To approximate to use the normal distribution for a binomial is given as,

$np\geq 10 , \ n(1-p)\geq 10$

When n = 10 and p = 0.5,

$= np \geq 10\\\\= 10 \times 0.5 = 5$

The normal distribution is less than 10 so, this not appropriate.

When n = 40 and p = 0.88,

$= n.p \geq 10\\\\= (40).(0.88) \geq 10\\\\= 35.2\geq 10\\\\Then,\\=n(1-p) = 40(1-0.88) \geq 10 \\\\= 40\times 0.12 \geq 10 = 4.8\leq 10$

The normal distribution is less than 10 so, this not appropriate.

When n = 100 and p =0.2,

$= n.p \geq 10\\\\= (100).(0.2) \geq 10\\\\= 20\geq 10\\\\Then,\\=n(1-p) = 100(1-0.2) \geq 10 \\\\= 100\times 0.8\geq 10 = 80\geq 10$

The normal distribution is greater than 10 so, this appropriate.

When n = 100 and p = 0.99,

$= n.p \geq 10\\\\= (100).(0.99) \geq 10\\\\= 99\geq 10\\\\Then,\\=n(1-p) = 100(1-0.99) \geq 10 \\\\= 100\times 0.01\geq 10 = 1\leq 10$

The normal distribution is less than 10 so, this not appropriate.

When n = 1000 and p = 0.003,

$= np \geq 10\\\\= 1000 \times 0.003 = 3$

The normal distribution is less than 10 so, this not appropriate.

Hence, A Normal distribution to approximate probabilities for a binomial distribution with the given values of n = 100 and p = 0.2.

Answer from: jessicagustama

Step-by-step explanation:

To approximate to use the normal distribution for a binomial, we need that:

$np \geq 10, n(1-p)\geq 10$

So, for each option

(a) n = 10, p = 0.5

np = 10*0.5 = 5 < 10

So not appropriate

(b) n = 40, p = 0.88

np = 40*0.88 = 35.2 10

n(1-p) = 40*0.12 = 4.8 < 10

So not appropriate.

np = 100*0.2 = 20 10

n(1-p) = 100*0.8 = 80 10

So appropriate

(d) n = 100, p = 0.99

np = 100*0.99 = 99 10

n(1-p) = 100*0.01 = 1 < 10

So not appropriated

(e) n = 1000, p = 0.003

np = 1000*0.003 = 3 < 10

So not appropriate

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry.how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
