Tutoring math, you see all kinds of scientific calculators. The tutor continues to praise the Casio fx-991ES PLUS C.<\/h1>\n

If you were to be marooned on an island with a single calculator…which one would you prefer? The question is absurd, of course. Yet, I believe I know my answer: the Casio fx-991ES PLUS C. It has seemingly endless functionality for a little scientific calculator.<\/p>\n

Today I noticed that it calculates binomial pdf.<\/p>\n

Example: Using the Casio fx-991ES PLUS C, find the probability of 20 successes in 35 trials when p=0.44.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press MODE, then arrow down<\/li>\n
  2. Select 3<\/li>\n
  3. Select 4<\/li>\n
  4. For a single query, select 2<\/li>\n
  5. It will ask for x (the number of successes). Key in 20 =<\/li>\n
  6. Next, it will ask for N (the number of trials). Key in 35 = <\/li>\n
  7. Now it will ask for p (the probability of success each time). Key in .44 =<\/li>\n
  8. Hopefully you receive the answer 0.0401<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    HTH:)<\/p>\n
