Question from areej, a student: In any table of binomial probability with n trials, why is it that the probabilities for k=n are not tabulated??? |
Areej,
I looked in a couple of statistics books that have binomial probability tables and there was an entry for k = n. Perhaps the reason why the values don't appear in the tables you looked at is that it is easy to calculate, it is just pn.
