A simple wide range approximation of symmetric binomial distributions

Abstract

The paper gives a wide range, uniform, local approximation of symmetric binomial distribution. The result clearly shows how one has to modify the the classical de Moivre--Laplace normal approximation in order to give an estimate at the tail as well to minimize the relative error.
