Binomial Functions
The binomial function calculates the probability of having up to k successes out of n throws,
when the probability of success is p. Enter n and p each followed by = and type k and
navigate to the binomial function in the math menu.
Two -Number Functions
Apart from +-*/, the three additional two-number functions accessible on
the keyboard are:
•y
x
•nCr
•nPr
y
x
is the power function, nCr stands for the number of combinations of n items taken r at a
time, and nPr stands for the number of permutations of n items taken r at a time.

Perform calculations with these functions in the same way you would perform calculations with
+-/ and *, but press : to access the secondary function key. For
example, to calculate 15
3
:
1. P r e s s 15.
2. Press :h.
3. Press 3=. The result is shown in Figure 9.

In RPN mode, key in the numbers first, followed by I, then press the function key. For
example, for the power function example above, in RPN press:
15I3:h.
