Binomial and Normal Probability Distribution TI 83/84
Binomial Distribution TI 83/84
Parameters:
n = number of trials, p = probability of success, x = number of successes
Example
Successes = 5
Calculator
To calculate the binomial probability for exactly one
particular number of successes
P( x = 5)
binompdf(n ,p, x)
binompdf(n, p, 5) from example
To calculate the binomial probability of at most any
number of successes
P( x < 5 )
binomcdf(n, p, x)
binomcdf(n, p, 5) from example
To calculate the binomial probability of fewer than any
number of successes
P( x < 5 )
Note: Does not include 5
binomcdf(n, p, x)
binomcdf(n, p, 4) from example
To calculate the binomial probability of more than any
number of successes
P( x > 5 ) = 1 – P( x < 5 )
Think complement
1 – binomcdf(n, p, x)
1 – binomcdf(n, p, 5) from example
To calculate the binomial probability of at least any number
of successes
P( x > 5 ) = 1 – P(x < 4)
Think complement
1 – binomcdf(n, p, x)
1 – binomcdf(n, p, 4) from example Normal Distribution TI 83/84

Working with raw (x)
scores
