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
