6. (20 pts) When using the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution, we calculate the mean and the standard deviation of the converted normal distribution by: $\mu = $ ? $\sigma = $ ?(*) However, when estimating the population proportion, the \"converted standard deviation\" is calculated by ?(**)

Step 1
The formula for the standard deviation of a binomial distribution is: σ = √(npq) where σ is the standard deviation, n is the sample size, p is the probability of success, and q is the probability of failure (q = 1 - p). To convert the binomial distribution to a Show more…
