i thought these were for different types of data, iirc, use the normal formula whenever the data should follow a normal distribution like marks, height, weight, etc. (numerical data)thats good then. also would you recommend using the sample proportion formula or the normal formula for expected value and standard deviation when the question doesnt explicitly mention one specific thing
im pretty sure u only use sample proportion for categorical data (success/fail) within a given population, then examine how far that strays from the expected value
then again i coulda totally forgotten but im pretty sure they are for different scenarios.
