No, because np = 100(0.02) = 2. The value of np must be greater than or equal to 5 to use the normal approximation. 1) If n 100 and p 0.02 in a binomial experiment, does this satisfy the rule for a normal approximation? Why or why not? No, because np 100(0.02) 2. The value of np must be greater than or equal to 5 to

continuous rv Note for a legitimate pdf, we have f (x) 0 and f (x)dx = 1. For a continuous rv, P(X = c) = c f (x)dx = 0, hence continuous rv Let X be a continuous rv. Then a probability distribution or probability density function (pdf) of X is a function f(x) such that for any two numbers a and b with a b, P(a X b) = b a f (x)dx.
