Becausenis large, our only concern with using a normal approximation will be the small amount of variability in the sampling distribution of\(\style{font-family:Times New Roman;}{\widehat p}\).
Because\(\style{font-family:Times New Roman;}{\;n}\)is small here, the sampling distribution of\(\style{font-family:Times New Roman;}{\widehat p}\)should not be assumed to be approximately normal.
Because\(\style{font-family:Times New Roman;}{\widehat p}\) ≤ 0.5, the sampling distribution of\(\style{font-family:Times New Roman;}{\widehat p}\)should not be assumed to be approximately normal.
If n \(\style{font-family:Times New Roman;}{\widehat p}\) < 5, then a normal approximation is not appropriate.
