Question: ComputeP(X) using the binomial probability formula. Then determine whether the normal distribution can be used to estimate this probability. Ifso, approximateP(X) using the normal distribution

ComputeP(X) using the binomial probability formula. Then determine whether the normal distribution can be used to estimate this probability. Ifso, approximateP(X) using the normal distribution and compare the result with the exact probability.

n=60, p=0.2, and X=20

P(X)=

(Round to four decimal places asneeded.)

Can the normal distribution be used to approximate thisprobability?

A.

No, the normal distribution cannot be used because np(1p)<10.

B.

Yes, the normal distribution can be used because np(1p)<10.

C.

Yes, the normal distribution can be used because np(1p)10.

D.

No, the normal distribution cannot be used because np(1p)10.
