In general, the binomial probability P(X = x) is approximated by the area under a normal curve between x - .5 and x + .5.
Binomial Probability
The probability of achieving a specific number of successes in a fixed number of Bernoulli trials with the same probability of success on each trial.
Normal Curve
A bell-shaped curve that is symmetrical about the mean, representing the distribution of a continuous random variable.
Continuity Correction
