Normal Approximation of the Binomial Distribution
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates how the binomial distribution can be approximated by a normal distribution. Key math concepts involved include binomial distribution, normal distribution, probability & statistics, and hypothesis testing. The construction uses GeoGebra commands BinomialDist (binomial distribution), Normal (normal distribution), Max (maximum), and objects n (number of trials), p (probability of success), a (approximation start), f (frequency), A (normal curve), b (approximation end), and text1 (text label). Suitable for high school and above students to learn and understand approximation methods in probability & statistics.

BinomialDist(n, p) → aNormal((n * p), sqrt(((n * p) * (1 - p))), x) → fMax(f, 0, 1000) → A
