Answer:
Since both np > 5 and np(1-p)>5, it is suitable to use the normal distribution as an approximation.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the normal approximation is suitable?
If np > 5 and np(1-p)>5
In this question:
[tex]n = 24, p = 0.6[/tex]
So
[tex]np = 24*0.6 = 14.4[/tex]
And
[tex]np(1-p) = 24*0.6*0.4 = 5.76[/tex]
Since both np > 5 and np(1-p)>5, it is suitable to use the normal distribution as an approximation.
