In words:
Here, the binomial random variable x is less than or equal to 36. In a binomial distribution, the random variable denotes the number of success. Hence, the binomial probability P(x36) can be represented in words as "probability of getting at most 36 successes".
Continuity correction:
The binomial probability is converted to a normal distribution probability by using the continuity correction.
If the binomial probability represents "at most c" then the normal probability is P(x<c+0.5) for any number c.
Here, the symbol "<" represents "fewer that".
By using continuity correction, the value 0.5 is added to the value of 36.
That is, c=36
P(x36)=P(x<36+0.5)
=P(x<36.5)
Thus, the binomial probability to a normal distribution probability by using continuity correction is P(x<36.5).
