Answer to Question 1

One may use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution, provided that both np  5 and nq  5. You would choose to approximate by the normal distribution if a computer and software were not available, if the table did not contain the required values of n and p, or if the computations could not be easily and expediently done with the binomial probability formula.

Answer to Question 2

A

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
