Question

If N > 20, the binomial distribution cannot be used.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. The binomial distribution can still be used when N is greater than 20, as long as the other assumptions of the distribution are met (fixed number of trials, independent events, constant probability of success). However, for very large values of N, a normal approximation to the binomial distribution may be more appropriate.
