Normal approximation to the Binomial distribution
This Java applet shows how the binomial distribution can be approximated by the normal distribution. The initial values are for a binomial distribution with the parameters N = 8 and p = 0.5 where N is the number of trials and p is the probability of success on each trial. You can change the values of N and p and see the result (Hit the enter or tab key after changing a value).
