A random variable may assume many values for each outcome of a probability experiment.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

For a binomial distribution with n =12, and p = 0.4, does the normal distribution provide a reasonable approximation? Use the rule of thumb for normal approximation to the binomial distribution.
