How do you find the normal approximation without using the continuity correction?

Let's say you want to compute the probability \mathbb P(a\le X\le b) where X converges in distribution to Y, and Y follows a normal distribution. The normal approximation (without the continuity correction) basically involves choosing Y such that its mean and variance are the same as those for X.

Example: If X is binomially distributed with n=100 and p=0.1, then X has mean np=10 and variance np(1-p)=9. So you can approximate a probability in terms of X with a probability in terms of Y:

\mathbb P(a\le X\le b)\approx\mathbb P(a\le Y\le b)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{a-10}3\le\dfrac{Y-10}3\le\dfrac{b-10}3\right)=\mathbb P(a^*\le Z\le b^*)

where Z follows the standard normal distribution.

Line p has an equation of y=-8x+6. Line q, which is perpendicular to line p, includes the point (2,–2). What is the equation of
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

y =  \frac{1}{8} x - 2  \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope-intercept </u><u>form</u>

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Line p: y= -8x +6

slope= -8

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. Let the slope of line q be m.

m(-8)= -1

m= -1 ÷(-8)

m= ⅛

Substitute m= ⅛ into the equation:

y= ⅛x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation.

When x= 2, y= -2,

-2= ⅛(2) +c

- 2 =  \frac{1}{4}  + c

c =  - 2 -  \frac{1}{4}

c =  - 2 \frac{1}{4}

Thus, the equation of line q is y =  \frac{1}{8} x - 2 \frac{1}{4}.
