As a general rule,the normal distribution is used to approximate the sampling distribution of the sample proportion only if the sample size n is greater than or equal to 30.

Normal Distribution

In this probability distribution, symmetry is observed around the mean, illustrating that nearer data points are more common than distant ones.

Sample Size

The number of observations or data points collected in a sample from a larger population.

  • Understand the implications of sample size on the accuracy and applicability of the normal distribution in sampling distributions.
  • Identify the circumstances that allow for the use of the normal distribution as an approximation for binomial and various other distributions.
