Question
In a binomial distribution, if changes of getting success are 50% and we perform an exceedingly large number of trials, then the distribution will look like
Explanation
De Moivre-Laplace theorem states binomial approximates normal when n large, especially with p=0.5 yielding symmetric distribution. Mean np and variance npq approach bell curve, enabling normal approximation with continuity correction for probability calculations.
