Edexcel A Level Maths: 3.6 Approximating the Binomial Distribution

Pearson A level maths, applied year 2 textbook (3.6)

In this video I cover:

1. Approximating the binomial distribution using a normal approximation
2. Continuity correction
3. The binomial distribution
4. The normal distribution

learnt more from him than my acc maths teacher

[leohuo]

you have actually helped me understand more about how the lower limits and upper limits are derived. The diagram my teacher drew really explain how the number came about.

bruv if this guy was my maths teacher im getting A* at a probability of 1

[laibasheikh]

Never been able to understand stats faster!!

[Ahltyyy]

life saver i feel more confident in maths now cuz of u

[mathsangler]

Thank you. The best I've seen continuity correction explained.

What indicates that you need to switch from binomial to normal distribution for part b? Is it just that it says using a suitable approximation?

[heyy]

i dont get for the first example why we have to do all that like you get the same result from just doing it normally with binomial so when would i know to do it this way

[ak]

Just did my stats exam thank u very much for helping me w ur vids

[vvlbrcr]

hello no worries if no one replies as I know the video is old, but when you’re calculating probabilités with the normal approximated from the binomial do you always have to apply continuity corrections?

[antisocialbarbie]

Why can't I find poisson distribution

[matei]

u got the exam style question wrong. Its p= 0.8456 as the upper = 350.5 and lower = 299.5

the real g's are watching zeeshan

[staarren]

the way you phrase your sentences is too funny

[learsonmacamo]

My calculator cant do a certain part, that's why I came here to see how to do it without a calculator
