Question:
A student wishes to approximate the distribution of X ~B(240, p) by a continuous random variable Y that has a normal distribution.
a. Find the values of p for which:
i. Approximating X by Y can be justified
ii. Var(Y) < 45.
b. Find the range of values of p for which both the approximation is justified and Var(Y) < 45.
