Given that X is a binomial random variable, the binomial probability P(X = x) is approximated by the area under a normal curve between:

A) x - 0.5 and 0.0
B) 0.0 and x + 0.5
C) 1 - x and 1 + x
D) x - 0.5 and x + 0.5
E) 0.0 and x + 1

Binomial Random Variable

A type of random variable that takes on a fixed number of possible outcomes, with each outcome having a constant probability of occurrence in each independent trial.

Normal Curve

A symmetric, bell-shaped curve representing the distribution of a set of data where most occurrences take place near the mean and probabilities for values taper off equally on both sides.

Continuity Correction

An adjustment made when approximating a discrete distribution with a continuous distribution.
