Let's say you want to compute the probability

where

converges in distribution to

, and

follows a normal distribution. The normal approximation (without the continuity correction) basically involves choosing

such that its mean and variance are the same as those for

.
Example: If

is binomially distributed with

and

, then

has mean

and variance

. So you can approximate a probability in terms of

with a probability in terms of

:

where

follows the standard normal distribution.
No they are not, 6/8 could also be represented as 3/4. Therefore they are not equivalent. You would divide each side by the factor they have in common such as 2.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area is pretty synonymous with area.
How much paint is needed to paint the outside of a birdhouse?
Paint is measured in volume, so not surface area
How much wallpaper is needed to cover the walls of your room?
Since its just the walls its not total surface area, but surface area of the walls.
How much water will it take to fill a rectangular container?
water is measured in volume, especially when wanting to fill something.
How much topsoil can a gardener place in his wheelbarrow?
Wants to know how much topsoil is needed to FILL the wheelbarrow, filling is volume. So not surface area.
How much fabric is needed to make a pillowcase for a pillow?
Not asking to fill the pillowcase, just how much is needed for the thin, one layer thick case. So this is surface area.
I believe it’s 2% if it’s wrong sorry
