Derivation of univariate normal distribution and how it approximates binomial distribution problems

54 Views Asked by At

Can some one kindly explain the derivation of normal distribution (univariate) and how it could be approximated for binomial distribution (coin flip problem)? I have searched for hours but could not find any online.

I would like to know how to arrive at below formula and how it helps solve binomial distribution problem:
$f(x) = \dfrac {1}{\sigma \surd{2 \pi}}\text{exp}\Big( \dfrac {1}{2}(\dfrac {x-\mu}{\sigma}\Big)\Big)$

I am at a simple binomial distribution problem:
${\displaystyle P(X=k)={n \choose k}p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}}$
