To find the value of a term in a binomial distribution, go to the Stat screen and enter
Calc—Distribution and scroll to Binomial PD. Enter the values for n, p and x and tap
.Tofind more values, use and enter the required values.
Alternatively, define a
function
bi(n, p, x) = nCr(n, x) ×
p
∧
x × (1 − p)
∧
(n − x)
This can be used for any
binomial distribution problem.
B.6 Trigonometric functions
The choice of radian or degree measure is made
by tapping the appropriate section of the Status
bar at the bottom of the screen.
Trigonometric equations are solved using the
Interactive functions in
. Initially, we shall
consider the solution of the equation sin x = 0.5.
The exact solution is given as x = 2k +
5
6
or
x = 2k +
6
. The parameter k is shown as
constn(1) and constn(2) on the screen. This
indicates that these are the first and second
parameters to be used. The screen shows the
solution when the status bar is set to Standard or
to Decimal. Tap on
to scroll across for the
rest of the solution.
In cases where the domain is limited, enter the
equation with the domain sin(x) = 0.5|0 ≤ x ≤ 2,
highlight the equation part only and then tap
Interactive—Equation/inequality—solve and ensure
the variable is set to x. After tapping EXE the
B.7 Using the Calculus menu
Four of the operations of the calculus menu are considered here. These functions appear on the
keyboard
screen and variables and expressions can be entered directly. (It is also
possible to use the options in the Interactive—Calculation drop-down menu.)
