Answer:

X and Y intercepts

The x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

Using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for y

y= -0.15x-2.77

0= -0.15x-2.77

0.15x= -2.77

x= -2.77/0.15 = -18.00

The x intercept for this straight line is -18.00

The y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero

Using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for x

y= -0.15×0-2.77

y= -2.77

The y intercept for this straight line is -2.77

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

Dennis_Churaev [7]

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.
