Binomial Cumulative Distribution Function

Computes the cumulative probability for a discrete binomial distribution with n trials and success probability p.

binomCdf(n,p): Returns a list of values P(0 ≤ X ≤ k) for k = 0,…,n.

binomCdf(n,p,upperBound): Computes P(0 ≤ X ≤ upperBound).

binomCdf(n,p,lowerBound,upperBound): Computes P(lowerBound ≤ X ≤ upperBound).

If lower and upper bounds are lists, returns a list of the corresponding probabilities.

Syntax

binomCdf(Number of trials n, Probability of success p)
binomCdf(Number of trials n, Probability of success p, Upper bound)
binomCdf(Number of trials n, Probability of success p, Lower bound, Upper bound)

Examples

Binomial distribution

The binomial probability function can be defined using the binomPdf command 5: Probability > 5: Distributions > A: Binomial Pdf.... To calculate the probability for a range of values, you can use a sum or the guided binomCdf command 5: Probability > 5: Distributions > B: Binomial Cdf..., which evaluates the sum for you.
