the normal distribution is a good approximation if an appropriate continuity correction is performed, i.e., if P(X ≤ x), where x is a non-negative integer...

inequality) if and only if Y < 8 (strict inequality), we use a continuity correction and seek Pr ( Y ≤ 7.5 ) = P ( Y − 6 2 ≤ 7.5 − 6 2 ) = Pr ( Z ≤ 1...
