Can you help me with the following:

-------
Binomial Problem with n = 9 and p(buy dog) = 0.34
-------
a)What is the probability that exactly 4 of them are dogs?
P(x = 4) = 9C4*0.34^4*0.66^5 = binompdf(9,0.34,4) = 0.2109
-----------------------------------------
b) If the store has only 7 dogs, what is the probability that they have sufficient dogs for sale that day?
P(x <=7) = binomcdf(9,0.34,7) = 9C7*0.34^7*0.66^2 = 0.9989
-----------------
I've listed the formula and the TI-84 entry for a and for b.
