| Apr 4, 2022 at 2:17 | comment | added | kjetil b halvorsen♦ | @AhmedAbdullah: If $n$ is large and $np$ is, say 4 or 2 or 1 ... then the Poisson fit better than the normal. The CLT does not fail, but willl maybe need a very large $n$ | |
| Apr 4, 2022 at 2:02 | comment | added | Ahmed Abdullah | If np is small but not infinitesimal (smaller than 4), the binomial distribution is asymmetrical. Even if n very very large I don't understand how it'll look like bell curve. So my question is why CLT fails here? | |
