Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The normal distribution approximates the binomial distribution well when the sample size is large and the population proportion is approximately 0.5. This is because when the population proportion is close to 0.5, the binomial distribution is most symmetrical and bell-shaped, which is similar to the normal distribution.
