biPDf(x, n, p)

Equivalent to the builtin binomialPDf(x, n, p), but returns exact values in Standard mode whereas binomialPDf can return only decimal answers.

Returns the probability of x successes from n trials with p probability of success each trial.

Example

A box contains \(n\) green balls and \(m\) red balls. A ball is selected at random, then replaced in the box. Find the probability that in 8 such selections a green ball is selected at least once. (2023 Methods Exam 2 Section A Question 8)
