GeoGebra
The Probability Calculator in
GeoGebra is easy to use. Here’s how you can use it compute probabilities from the binomial distribution.
GeoGebra Instruction 1
- 1.
- Open
Probability Calculatorunder
ViewinMenu. - 2.
- Make sure that you choose the
Distributiontab at the top of the window. - 3.
- Select
Binomialfrom the drop-down list. Insert the values for and from your problem. - 4.
- Choose
Left-sided,
Interval,
Two tailed, orRight-sideddepending on your problem.
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting exactly successes, you can find it in the table on the right-hand side.
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting at least successes, choose
Right-sidedand enter the value of .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting at most successes, choose
Left-sidedand enter the value of .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability that the number of successes is between and successes, including and , choose
Intervaland enter the values of and .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability that the number of successes is not between and successes, including and , choose
Two tailedand enter the values of and . Alternatively, you can compute the probability in the item above, and then take that probability and subtract it from 1.
