In probability theory , if a random variable X has a binomial distribution with parameters n and p , i.e., X is distributed as the number of successes in n independent Bernoulli trial s with probability p of success on each trial, then math P X leq x P X x 1 math for any x 0, 1, 2, ... n . If np and n 1 &minus p are large sometimes taken to mean 5 , then the probability above is fairly well approximated by math P Y leq x 1 2 math where Y is a normal distribution normally distributed random variable with the same expected value and the same variance as X , i.e., E Y np and var Y np 1 &minus p . This addition of 1 2 to x is a continuity correction . A continuity correction can also be applied when other discrete distributions supported on the integers are approximated by the normal distribution. For example, if X has a Poisson distribution with expected value then the variance of X is also , and math P X leq x P X x 1 approx P Y leq x 1 2 math if Y is normally distributed with expectation and variance both . Applications Before the ready availability of statistical software having the ability to evaluate probability distribution functions accurately, continuity corrections played an important role in the practical application of statistical hypothesis test statistical tests in which the test statistic has a discrete distribution it was a special importance for manual calculations. A particular example of this is the binomial test , involving the binomial distribution , as in checking whether a coin is fair . Where extreme accuracy is not necessary, computer calculations for some ranges of parameters may still rely on using continuity corrections to improve accuracy while retaining simplicity.

In mathematical analysis , Lipschitz continuity , named after Rudolf Lipschitz , is a strong form of uniform continuity for function mathematics function s. Intuitively, a Lipschitz continuous function is limited in how fast it can change for every pair of points on the graph of this function, the absolute value of the slope of the line connecting them is no greater than a definite real number this bound is called the function s Lipschitz constant or modulus of continuity modulus of uniform continuity . In the theory of differential equation s, Lipschitz continuity is the central condition of the Picard Lindel f theorem which guarantees the existence and uniqueness of the solution to an initial value problem . A special type of Lipschitz continuity, called contraction mapping contraction , is used in the Banach fixed point theorem . The concept of Lipschitz continuity is well defined on metric space s. A generalization of Lipschitz continuity is called H lder continuity .

In electronics , a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current electricity current flows that it is in fact a complete circuit . A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage wired in series with an LED or noise producing component such as a Loudspeakers Piezoelectric speakers piezoelectric speaker across the chosen path. If electron flow is inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components, or excessive electrical resistance resistance , the circuit is open . Devices that can be used to perform continuity tests include multimeter s which measure current and specialized continuity tester s which are cheaper, more basic devices, generally with a simple light bulb that lights up when current flows. An important application is the continuity test of a bundle of wires so as to find the two ends belonging to a particular one of these wires there will be a negligible resistance between the right ends, and only between the right ends.

IT Service Continuity is a specific form of business continuity planning . It is the process of assessing and managing risks associated with information technology IT departments. It involves the evaluation of values, threats, risk s, vulnerabilities and development of countermeasures to ensure continuation in the event of an IT services disruption. IT Service Continuity planning may make use of any combination of recovery and or restoration strategies including hot, warm, cold standby data centres or servers high availability services within the same or across multiple data centres services may be active active or active passive it may utilise a ship on demand, shared services or cloud services, or other approach. IT Service Continuity, in itself, does not prescribe or refer to any one strategy. This terminology is mainly used in Western countries. In 2008 the BSI Group British Standards Institution launched a specific standard connected and supporting the Business Continuity Standard BS 25999 titled BS25777 specifically to align ICT Service Continuity with Business Continuity.
