All of these steps are appropriate for the normal approximation of the binomial distribution. 
- Checking for normality is important because if the sample is not normally distributed, then the normal approximation may not be accurate. 
- Finding the real limits helps to define the range of values that the normal distribution will be used to approximate. 
- Finding the proportion located within the real limits is the ultimate goal of the normal approximation, as it allows us to estimate the probability of a particular event occurring within that range.
