This Normal Approximation of the Binomials Distribution: When to Approximate interactive also includes:
Normalizing a binomial distribution — determine when it is all right. Given the rule of thumb of when it is appropriate to use the normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution, pupils look at different scenarios. Scholars then determine whether they can use approximation given the sample size and the probability of success.
