Please look at R handout 5 for hints.

Hints from lecture notes

Recall from lecture that the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) can be used with the binomial

distribution, so long as there are 10 successes ad 10 failures (if there are not, the error will

be large). Then, if X the number of successes out of n trials, the CLT states:

                    X approx N (  n  p,         n  p  (1  p))

However, we should always implement the continuity correction to the normal approximation

to binomial, which states that we should adjust X by . I.e, we have the following:

                          Non-Corrected        Corrected

                          P (X  a)            P (X  a ...
