A)  x - 0.5 
B)  x + 0.5 . 
C)  x - 1 . 
D) x + 1 .

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The continuity correction for approximating a binomial distribution with a normal distribution involves adjusting the discrete x value by 0.5. For P(X ≥ x), we use x - 0.5 to find the area to the right under the normal curve.
