The collection of values, \ theta, for which the normal approximation is valid can be represented as
12.
Wilson and colleagues determined that the Schipper values were close approximations to the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.
13.
The normal approximation interval is the simplest formula, and the one introduced in most basic statistics classes and textbooks.
14.
The normal approximation to the binomial distribution can be used for large sample sizes, " m " > 25.
15.
A simple approximation to the exact interval endpoints can be derived using a normal approximation to the } } distribution.
16.
Note that since, the mean used in the normal approximation is the mean of the two values of " U ".
17.
They are to be found in technical papers such as " Fallacy of the Log-Normal Approximation to Portfolio Decision-making over Many Periods ."
18.
For this reason, it is preferable to use the t distribution rather than the normal approximation or the chi-squared approximation for small sample size.
19.
So, I am asked to use the normal approximation to the binomial and use the continuity correction with it to make it more accurate.
20.
The normal approximation is easier, though, if you don't need an absolutely precise answer .-- talk ) 18 : 59, 7 October 2008 ( UTC)
