USE OF BINOMIAL OR NORMAL DISTRIBUTION TO ANALYZE STD DATA:
Binomial or Normal Distribution can be used to analyze STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) as follows:
Suppose in a certain locality, by previous investigation, the probability of STD prevalence is known to be equal to p. Then, by using Binomial Distribution, we can calculate the probability that among the n persons, x persons will have STD.
When the number of persons = n is large, making the application of Binomial Distribution quite tedious we can employ Normal Distribution to the data after applying necessary continuity correction.
Such a study will enable the social worker to take appropriate remedial measures.
