Answer:

If the value of n gests smaller then the distribution of X would be more skewed, that's a property of the binomial distribution

Explanation:

For this problem we are assumeing that the random variable X is :


X \sim Bin(n,p)

If the value of n gests smaller then the distribution of X would be more skewed, that's a property of the binomial distribution and if we don't satisfy this two conditions:


n p>10


n(1-p) >10

Then we can't use the normal approximation
