Casio fx-9860G - calculating binomial coefficients and binomial distribution

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Casio fx-9860G calculator allows users to calculate binomial coefficients and binomial distribution effectively. To compute binomial coefficients, access the "C" function in the CATALOG and input the values for n and r (e.g., 4C2). For binomial distribution, navigate through the "Menu" to "STAT", then "DIST", followed by "BINM", and finally "Bpd" to input data and execute the calculation. A reference manual is available at the provided link for further assistance.

How to calculate 1) binomial coefficients and 2) binomial distribution on a Casio fx-9860G calculator?

try the NCR button
 
There is nothing like an "nCr button" on Casio fx-9860G, sorry. In any case, I have already found the answer, thank you.

For posterity:

To calculate binomial coefficients, you need to find the "C" function (the fat-looking C letter) under the CATALOG in the C's and type the n and r values on either side of the C as it appears on screen (e.g. 4C2).

To calculate binomial distribution, 1) go to "Menu", 2) select "STAT", 3) select "DIST" (under F5), 4) select "BINM" (under F5), 5) select "Bpd", 6) change inputting the DATA from "List" to "Variable" (F2), 7) enter your data and 8) select "Execute."
 
One more thing for posterity:

Why wasn't this included in the package when I bought the calculator? In any case, I wish someone had shown me this link a year ago.
