Critical Thinking For a binomial probability distribution, it is unusual for the number of successes to be less than m 2 2.5s or greater than m 1 2.5s .

(a) For a binomial experiment with 10 trials for which the probability of success on a single trial is 0.2, is it unusual to have more than five successes?

Explain.
