who cares, its not normally distributed

please tell me what i "think i know"

Well, for a fixed probability of success P, and N trials, since N is discrete, clearly a binomial distribution is not a normal distribution technically. However, the normal distribution approximates it quite well, and also the binomial distribution converges to the normal one as N -> infinity. So while a binomial distribution is not actually a normal one, this has more to do with discreteness/continuity than not being in the "spirit" of a normal one.

I assumed you were implying that variance isn't important for non-normal distributions, because all you know to do with variance is run a t-test/ci.

I refuse to be leveled, but you still don't know what you're talking about.
