HP 12C: Combination/Binomial Distribution/Negative Binomial Distribution



HP 12C:  Combination/Binomial Distribution/Negative Binomial Distribution

Introduction and Formulas

Combination: Find the number of groups out of a possible set of objects.  The order of objects obtained does not matter. 
Store n in R1, x in R0, and p in R2.  Press [ f ] [ R↓]  (CLEAR PRGM), [ R/S ]
Formula:  COMB(n, x)  = n!/(x! * (n-x)!)

Binomial Distribution:  Find number of successes (x) in a fixed number of trials (n). 
Store n in R1, x in R0, and p in R2.  Press [ g ] [ R↓ ] (GTO) 26, [R/S]
Formula:  COMB(n, x) * p^x * (1 – p)^(n – x)

Negative Binomial Distribution:  Find the number of trials (n) needed to obtain a fixed amount of successes (x).
Store x in R1, n in R0, and p in R2.  Press [ g ] [ R↓ ] (GTO) 43, [R/S]
Formula:  COMB(x – 1, n – 1) * p^(n -1) * (1 – p)^((x - 1) - (n – 1))

In the distribution calculations, p is the probability where 0 ≤ p ≤ 1. 
Note: R3 is used as a flag, which will allowed for branching.

Examples:

Find the number of combinations of groups of 2 out of possible 12 objects. 
12 [STO] 1, 2 [STO] 0, [ f ] [ R↓ ] (CLEAR PRGM)
Result:  66

Binomial Distribution:  Toss a coin 25 times. (trails) What is the probability of tossing 10 heads? (successes)  Assume a fair coin.  The variables n = 25, x = 10, p = 0.5 
25 [ STO ] 1, 10 [ STO ] 0, 0.5 [ STO ] 2, [ g ] [ R↓ ] (GTO) 26 [ R/S ]
Result:  0.10   (0.0974166393)

Negative Binomial Distribution:  Assume a fair coin. What is the probability that the 15th tossed of heads comes on the 25th toss of the coin?  x = 15, n = 25, p = 0.5
25 [STO] 1, 15 [STO] 0, 0.5 [ STO ] 2, [ g ] [ R↓] (GTO) 43 [ R/S ]
Result:  0.12  (0.1168999672)
