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

AI Thread Summary
To calculate binomial coefficients on the Casio fx-9860G, use the "C" function found in the CATALOG menu, entering the values for n and r as in 4C2. For binomial distribution, navigate to the STAT menu, select DIST, then BINM, and choose Bpd, switching the input from "List" to "Variable" before entering your data. Users express frustration over the lack of included documentation for these functions with the calculator purchase. A link to the user manual is provided for further reference. Understanding these steps enhances the calculator's utility for statistical calculations.

How to calculate 1) binomial coefficients and 2) binomial distribution on a Casio fx-9860G calculator?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
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.

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
