For stats does anyone know when to use continuity correction? Or do we even need to use it for the Hsc? Thanks.

Continuity correction is needed (formally) when approximating a discrete distribution (like a binomial) with a continuous distribution.

Mathematically, it should always be included when making such an approximation, and leads to a more accurate result.

However, HSCially, solutions will be accepted with or without the correction. Presumably this means that the situations that can't be solved without the correction will not be examined,
