Question 228867
Consider a binomial distribution with 15 identical trials, and a probability of success of 0.5 

i. Find the probability that x = 2 using the binomial tables
P(x=2) = 15C2(1/2)^2(1/2)^13 = 105(1/2)^15 = 105/2^15 = 0.0032043....
============================================================

ii. Use the normal approximation to find the probability that x = 2.
Ans: P(x=2) = 0
Comment: The probability of any particular number is zero because the
area over a point is zero.
