Question

Eric is a statistician-Viking. He walks into a tavern and makes three statements about the continuity correction. Which are true?

I. You can find single probabilities (such as x - 4) using the normal approximation to the binomial. Do this by finding the probability for the range from.5 below to .5 above the number. (For x 4 you'd find 3.5x 4.5.)
Il. Using the normal approximation, x 4 is the same as x4. Using the exact binomial, x <4 is not the same as x - 4
IlI. The continuity correction removes some of the error introduced when modeling a discrete distribution with a continuous one. The correction increases accuracy by acting as though a number occupies the interval from.5 below it to.5 above it.
A. I only
B. Il only
C. Ill ony
D. I and lll
E. I, I, and III

Answer 1

E. I, II and III

Explanation:

Continuity correction is a theory in which addition or subtraction is made with the discrete variables. Continuity variable helps to find the single probabilities of the function and it removes some errors that are found in the modelling of discrete distribution.
