Hi. Can someone tell me how to determine when should I use the continuity correction and when to use only the X~Bin? I know in general you should use continuity correction when approximating Binomial distribution to Normal distribution. But that is what I don't understand. Could you guys maybe provide me some examples n explanations when to use and when not to? Thanks.

If P(X=n) use P(n – 0.5 < X < n + 0.5)
If P(X>n) use P(X > n + 0.5)
If P(X≤n) use P(X < n + 0.5)
If P (X<n) use P(X < n – 0.5)
If P(X ≥ n) use P(X > n – 0.5)

How do u know when to use continuity in a question?
A continuity correction factor is used when you use a continuous function to approximate a discrete one. In simple terms, you use it when you want to approximate a binomial with a normal distribution.
