    The document discusses using the binomial formula to calculate binomial probabilities rather than drawing tree diagrams. It provides the formula and explains that nCr means the same as n choose r, which can be calculated using the button on a calculator. An example calculation is shown to find P(X=2) when n=5 and p=0.4.

    Using the Binomial Formula

    We can work out Binomial probabilities using the formula below:

    (What this formula does is save us the hard work of drawing a massive tree diagram and working it out that
    way)

    Reminder: is the same thing as and you should have a button on your calculator to do this

    Example:

    Suppose and we want to calculate

    Exercise:

    Calculate the following Binomial probabilities

    Working out and answer
