Answer: Normal approximation can be used for discrete sampling distributions, such as Binomial distribution and Poisson distribution if certain conditions are met.

Step-by-step explanation: We will give conditions under which the Binomial and Poisson distribitions, which are discrete, can be approximated by the Normal distribution. This procedure is called normal approximation.

1. Binomial distribution: Let the sampling distribution be the binomial distribution $B(n,p)$ , where $n$ is the number of trials and $p$ is the probability of success. It can be approximated by the Normal distribution with the mean of $np$ and the variance of $np(1-p)$ , denoted by $N(np,np(1-p))$ if the following condition is met:

$n>9\left(\frac{1-p}{p}\right)\text{ and } n>9\left(\frac{p}{1-p}\right)$

2. Poisson distribution: Let the sampling distribution be the Poisson distribution $P(\lambda)$ where $\lambda$ is its mean. It can be approximated by the Normal distribution with the mean $\lambda$ and the variance $\lambda$ , denoted by $N(\lambda,\lambda)$ when $\lambda$ is large enough, say $\lambda>1000$ (however, different sources may give different lower value for $\lambda$ but the greater it is, the better the approximation).
