When 'n' becomes very large, binomial distribution tends to ______________?
Correct answer: C. Normal dist
- A. Poisson dist
- B. Standard dist
- C. Normal dist
- D. Hyper-geometric distribution
Explanation
With sufficiently large n and a suitable p, the binomial distribution is approximated by the normal distribution through the central limit theorem. A Poisson approximation requires the additional condition that p is small while np remains fixed.
