  • Approximating the Binomial Distribution to the binomial distribution first requires a test to determine if it can be used. Then a correction factor needs to be used since binomial distributions are discrete cases

    in my question it does 1 - p(z > 1.9) = 1 -0.971 = 0.029
    I still don't understand why you take away from 0.5 and in my question it is taking away from 1?
    What difference does that make? D:

      Because the z score table that he used is very old and uses all the area to the right. The new ones takes the area to the left. he used 0.5 because he doesn't need the whole area to calculate the answer. He only needs half the area to find out the remaining.

      pretty sure this is correct. Not sure why my comment didn't go through. Just make sure you are approximating a binomial distribution. If you are actually finding probabilities on a normal distribution, then this is unneeded. And with the technology we all posses, I am not sure why we are still approximating a binomial distribution with the normal distribution when the calculator/phone you posses can calculate the probabilities for a binomial distribution directly.

Are you figuring probability for a binomial distribution or a normal distribution. There is a difference.... so be careful.

      You must now find P(-2.5
