Consider the probability that fewer than 46 out of 134 students will not pass their college placement exams. Assume the probability that a given student will not pass their college placement exam is 98%. Specify whether the normal curve can be used as an approximation to the binomial probability by verifying the necessary conditions. a. Yes
b. No

b. No

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial approximation to the normal:

Binomial distribution has n trials, with p probability.

If

and , it can be approximated to the normal distribution.

Assume the probability that a given student will not pass their college placement exam is 98%.

This means that

134 students:

This means that

Necessary conditions:

Since the necessary condition n(1-p) < 10 is not satisfied, the answer is No, given by option b.

Option (B) is correct
