Given that X is a binomial random variable with very large n,the binomial probability P(X = 5) is approximated by the area under a normal curve between
A) 5 and 5
B) 4 and 6
C) 4.5 and 5.5
D) None of these choices.
Normal Curve
A symmetric, bell-shaped curve that represents the distribution of many types of data; most scores are near the average, and frequencies decrease as you move away from the center.
Binomial Random Variable
A type of random variable that arises from a binomial experiment, representing the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials.
