This paper concerns a new Normal approximation to the beta distribution and its relatives, in particular, the binomial, Pascal, negative binomial, F, t, Poisson, gamma, and chi square distributions.

Resources Virtual Galton board: Bean Machine This applet allows users to drag sliders to change the number of bins (n) on a Galton board with probability of success p = 0.5. The applet animates the ...

In this paper a new normal approximation to a sum of hypergeometric terms is derived, which is a direct generalization of Feller's normal approximation to the binomial distribution [2]. For intervals ...
