Continuity correction

Submitted by admin on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 20:22

The continuity correction is needed when using the normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution. The concept is sometimes misunderstood. I hope this wiki page is a useful explanation. The graphs are produced with Mavis, of course.

The upcoming release 1.2.3 includes more resources for the S2 module, including an animated version of the graph on the wiki page.
