    This document discusses the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. It states that when the number of successes and failures for a binomial distribution are each greater than or equal to 10, the binomial can be approximated by the normal distribution. It explains that for binomial distributions meeting this criteria, the mean is equal to np and the standard deviation is equal to the square root of npq. It also discusses the continuity correction, which adjusts the bounds of a probability interval by 0.5 when using the normal approximation to the binomial to minimize error.
