Appendix FNormal Approximations forDistributionsF.1 Binomial DistributionThe Bin(n, p) distribution is approximately normal with mean np and variancenp(1 − p) ifnis large.F.2 Negative Binomial DistributionThe NegBin(n, p) distribution is approximately normal with mean n/p andvariance n(1 − p)/p 2 if n is large.F.3 Poisson DistributionThe Poi(µ) distribution is approximately normal with mean µ and varianceµ if µ is large.F.4 Gamma DistributionThe Gam(α, λ) distribution is approximately normal with mean α/λ andvariance α/λ 2 if α is large.F.5 Chi-Square DistributionThe chi 2 (n) distribution is approximately normal with mean n and variance2n if n is large.239
