Answer 1

Question 2

Discuss the Continuity Correction Factor

Answer 2

Question 3

When a problem says something like 60 or more which continuty correction factor is used …..

Answer 3

it means you use at least

P is greater than or equal to 60

Question 4

More than X…..

(What do you do in relation to continuity correction factor?)

Answer 4

Don’t include 60

P is greater than 60

Question 5

X or Fewer….

(What to do in relation to continuity correction factor?)

Answer 5

X included

X is less than or equal to 60

Question 6

Fewer than X….

(What to do in relation to continuity correction factor?)

Answer 6

X is not included

X is just less than 60

no equal to

Question 7

Final Review of Continuity Correction Factor

Answer 7

Question 8

What must you do when solving problems like these?

Answer 8

find the mean first and do the z-score

-its best to draw the curve

Question 9

What is the essence of what we are really doing?

(think how are transforming the discrete probability)

Answer 9

-approximating it to a continuous probability
