Answer #1

The continuous Normal Distribution isa good approximation to the discrete
Poisson Distribution for "medium" ? values (like ? =50 here) provided the
continuitycorrection is applied to compensate. This means (1/2) must be
added and subtracted from the random variable range beingconsidered:

225 ---------- 275

Discrete Range: | ------------ |

Range w/ContinuityCorrection: |---------------- |

224.5 ------------ 275.5
