Paragraph

When converting probability problems from continuous (such as exponential or uniform) then no adjustment to the question is needed since you are approximating one area with another area. However, when converting probability problems from discrete (such as binomial or geometric) then you need to consider how the interval would need to be adjusted so that histogram areas for the discrete problem would relate to areas under the normal curve. Generally, you will need to expand the stated interval each way by 1/2.
