This video shows how to use the normal distribution to find approximate answers to questions about binomial distributions by using the normal distribution. I assume the viewer has basic knowledge of both binomial distributions (as explained in my prior two videos on that topic) and of the normal distribution.

Brian Clare (Bclare)

I'm a recent graduate of Boston University, BA in Mathematics, taking a year off before graduate school. I've been tutoring for about 5 years, with a lot of students in introductory statistics and calculus courses but also some in pre-calculus and applied math, and some in discrete math, analysis and higher-level courses. I also worked for several semesters as a grader for intro statistics and calculus courses.
