To determine the probability of getting fewer than 3 events of interest in a binomial distribution, we need to find the area under the normal curve for X = 2.5 and below, not 3.5. This is because the binomial distribution is discrete, meaning X can only take on integer values, while the normal distribution is continuous. Therefore, we need to use the continuity correction and subtract 0.5 from 3 to get 2.5.
