Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The conditions that np > 10 and n(1-p) > 10 are imposed on a sampling distribution to protect against
A
a sample that is not representative of the population.
B
bias in the responses of the sample participants.
C
skewness in the distribution.
D
a very small population size.
E
The conditions are not designed to protect against any of these conditions.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sampling Distribution of the Sample Proportion. For large samples, the sample proportion is approximately normally distributed, with mean ˆP=p. and standard deviation ˆP=√pqn. A sample is large if the interval [p−3ˆp, p+3ˆp] lies wholly within the interval [0, 1].

Detailed explanation-2: -To ensure that the observations in the sample are close to independent.
