Question 454934: Suppose we want to determine the (binomial) probability (p) of getting 0 (zero) heads in 5 flips of a coin. Using Table 2 in Appendix B of the text, what values of n, x, and p would we use to look up this probability, and what would be the probability?

Table 2 states
n=5 x=0
0.01 0.05 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.70
.951 .774 .590 .328 .168 .078 .031 .010 .002
