Question
is it appropriate to use the normal distribution to approximate the sampling distribution of \\( \hat{p} \\) for the following?\\( n = 350, p = 0.99 \\)\\( \circ \\) no, \\( np \\) and \\( n(1 - p) \\) are both less than 5.\\( \circ \\) yes, \\( np \\) and \\( n(1 - p) \\) are both greater than 5.\\( \circ \\) no, \\( n(1 - p) \\) is less than 5.\\( \circ \\) no, \\( np \\) is less than 5.\

random samples of size \\( n = 85 \\) were selected from a binomial population with \\( p = 0.8 \\). use the normal distribution to approximate the following probability.\\( p(0.75 \leq \hat{p} \leq 0.88) \\)\
step 1\
to check whether the normal approximation to the binomial distribution is appropriate for this case, we confirm \\( np > 5 \\) and \\( nq > 5 \\), where sample size \\( n = 85 \\) and mean \\( p = 0.8 \\) are given, and \\( q = 1 - p \\).\
find \\( np \\) and \\( nq \\).\\( np = 85(0.8) \\)\\( = \\)\\( nq = 85(1 - 0.8) \\)\\( = \\)\
because \\( np \\)? 5 and \\( nq \\)? 5, the normal approximation to the binomial distribution \\( \text{--select--} \\) appropriate.\

Step1: Calculate \( np \)
We know that \( n = 85 \) and \( p = 0.8 \). To find \( np \), we multiply \( n \) and \( p \).
\( np = 85\times0.8 = 68 \)
Step2: Calculate \( nq \)
First, find \( q \) where \( q = 1 - p \). So \( q = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2 \). Then multiply \( n \) and \( q \).
\( nq = 85\times(1 - 0.8)=85\times0.2 = 17 \)
Now, check if \( np>5 \) and \( nq>5 \). Since \( 68>5 \) and \( 17>5 \), the normal approximation to the binomial distribution is appropriate.
