We will first extract the probability distribution and then construct its histogram in order to create a binomial probability histogram.
As the number of trials n in a binomial experiment rises, the probability distribution of the random variable X becomes a bell-shaped form when we compare the binomial probability histograms for a fixed p, (probability of success).
As a rule, the probability distribution will resemble a bell if np(1 - p) is bigger than or equal to 10.
Result: Provided that np(1p)> or =10, the interval μ2σμ+2σ depicts the common observations. Any observations made outside of this window may be deemed strange. As said above.
