How can I calculate Binomial probability in Casio fx 991MS

SOURCE: binomial function in calculator fx-911ES

Hello,

The binomial probability distribution is defined as
P(r;p;n) =(nCr)(p^r)*(1-p)^(n-r)
where n is the number of trials, p the probability of success, and r the expected result.

Let n=20, r=7, p=0.15 ( I do not know wether this exemple has any meaning in the context of your problem, but you have to enter values that mean something to you. I am only showing you the key strokes

To enter 20C7 you press 20 [SHIFT][nCr]7 ;
To enter 0.15 to the power 7 you type 0.15[X to ] 7 the key is between
[x²] and [log]

To enter (1-0.15) to power 20-7, you type 0.85 [X to] 13
With [*] standing for multiplication key , and [X to] the raise to power key, the exemple above can be entered as

( 20 [SHIFT][nCr] 7) [*] ( 0.15 [X to] 7 ) [*] ( 0.85 [X to] 13 ) [=]

Here is a screen capture to show you what it looks like. However on this calculator the combination 20 [SHIFT][nCr] 7 is represented as nCr(20,7).



Hope it helps

there is one button ab/c beneath CALC... if u want to calculate 7 mod 4 then... u should press 7 then ab/c 4 and equal to
1, 3 ,4 which is 4*1=4 and 7-4=3 remainder...

Hello,
Here is the solution for th FX-991ES.
Hello,

The error may be due to the key you used to signifie inverse. It says in the manual that you should use the key x^-1 not the one used to input general powers.
Here is screen capture from the Appendix to the manual. The picture shows the sequence of keys to press to obtain the inverse of a 2x2 matrix. It is taken from page 41 of Appendix


The matrix used in the exemple is
a_11=2 a_12=1 a_21=1 a_22=2

The link is for FX991ES. Look there foe you manual.

SOURCE: Hi, I have a Casio calculator fx-991MS giving me wrong answers!

Hello,
I am only looking for a plausible cause of the error, because I do not believe your calculator can make such a mistake. I think you accidentally activated the Exponential display format and did not pay attention to the small, raised -03 that came at the end of the number displayed. It is a common mistake for those not very familiar with Scientific or exponential notation.

Let us try to reset your calculator to the normal (floating point) format.
Press the [MODE] key a number of times until you reach a screen that has FIX, SCI, NORM and under each one a number (FIX 1, SCI 2), Norm 3). To have the number of decimal place you gave in your result (4 decimal digits), you press 1 to select Fix then 4.

Be aware that scientific calculators usually stop displaying results in floating point format ( 0.0000045 ) if the number is smaller then 0.001. So basically, 0.00099 will be displayed as 9.90-04, -04 being raised above the level, and in smaller size.

Hope it helps.
