In general,the binomial probability P(X ≥ x)is approximated by the area under the normal curve to the left of x − .5.

Binomial Probability

The probability of achieving a specific number of successes in a fixed number of independent trials, where each trial has two possible outcomes.

Normal Curve

A bell-shaped curve depicting the distribution of many types of data; most scores are near the mean, with fewer scores toward the extremes.

  • Determine the specific conditions where the normal distribution serves as an appropriate approximation for the binomial and multiple other distributions.
