Normal approximation to the Binomial Distribution | Methods 3 and 4 | MaffsGuru

Year Level: 12 (AUS) and 13 (UK)

**

This video draws the lessons on the normal distribution to a close. I take a look at how, for large values of n, we can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution.

I open by recapping the work we have done with the Binomial Distribution and how, for high values of n we can see the curve of the Binomial Distribution and Normal Distribution are almost identical.

There are a number of examples to show how we can use the theory.

This maths video has been created for my students in Australia, but it is equally helpful for students in the USA, UK and other countries who are looking for good maths videos for both high school and middle school teachers.

This is the last video for this series. I hope you've found it useful. The next series of videos will be looking at Sampling. If there is anything you would like me to cover in later videos, why not leave me a comment below.

Thank you so much! So if I wanted to use the binomial distribution by using the BinomCDF function in the CAS calculator I could to get to a similar answer right? It all just depends on what method (binomial or normal distribution) the question wants me to use for these types of questions?
