The Empirical Rule states that, when the distribution is bell-shaped, around 95% of all observations will be within 2 standard deviations from the mean, which means from μ - 2σ to μ + 2σ.

The binomial distribution is a bell-shaped distribution with:

μ = np and

σ = √ (np (1-p))

Therefore, 95% of the outcomes will be in the interval from np-2√ (np (1-p)) and np+2√ (np (1-p))

Any observation that lies outside this interval (which means greater than np+2√ (np (1-p)) or less than np-2 √ (np (1-p))) occurs less then 5% of the times and therefore can be considered "unusual".
