INTRODUCTION

The main objective of this research is to enhance the understanding of the concept of binomial
distribution and normal approximation to binomial distribution of an experiment.

The probabilities of events in a binomial distribution using the properties of the normal
distribution. The binomial distribution describes the number of successes in a fixed number of
independent Bernoulli trials where the experiments which have two possible outcomes which is
success and failure, with a constant probability of success on each trial.

n x n− x n! x n−x
Binomial Distribution Formula: P(x) = ( ¿p q = p q
x ( n−x ) ! x !

where
n =the number of trials (or the number being sampled)
x =the number of successes desires
p =probability of getting a success in one trial
q =1-p x the probability of getting a failure in one real

Probability refers to the real relationship between two or more quantities or parts in relation to
the whole or to each other. It indicates how much one quantity or put compares the total to
another quantity. Proportions are often expressed as ratios or fractions. Besides, probability is a
measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. It is a number between 0 and 1, where 0
represents impossibility which the event will not happen, and 1 represents certainly which the
event will definitely happen. The higher the probability, the more likely the event will occur.

The use of measures of central tendency is a statistical concept employed to describe and
understand the central of typical value of a dataset. Measures of central tendency provide a single
value that represents the ‘center’ of the data distribution. They are used to summarize the data
and make it more manageable, giving insights into the typical value around which the data points
tend to cluster. The three main measures of central tendency are mean, median and mode.
MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
 In statistics, a central tendency is a central value or a typical value for a
probability distribution.
 It is occasionally called an average or just the center location/ center of the
distribution.
 The most common measures of central tendency are
 Mean
 Mode
 Median
 Measures of central of tendency are defined for
 A Population (large set of observations of a similar nature)
 A Sample (portion of the observations of a population)

The Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution becomes more reliable when the
sample size (n) is larger and the probability of success (p) is not too close to 0 or 1. As a general
rule, for the Normal Approximation to be reasonably accurate, np ≥ 5 and n(1-p) ≥ 5.
