The Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution

The process of using the normal curve to estimate the shape of the binomial distribution is known as normal approximation.

Thumbnail
The Scope of the Normal Approximation

The scope of the normal approximation is dependent upon our sample size, becoming more accurate as the sample size grows.
