Step 1
Continuity correction:
The binomial probability is converted to a normal distribution probability by using the continuity correction. Step 2
If the binomial probability represents P(Xa) then subtract 0.5 with a and add 0.5 to b. Where n represent the number of trial.
That is,
P(X10)=P(100.5<x<n+0.5)=P(9.5<x<n+0.5)
Thus, the area between 9.5 and n+0.5 under the appropriate normal curve would estimate the binomial probability P(X10).
