Question 1131852: need help solving this problem Suppose we want to determine the
(binomial) probability (p) of getting 3
heads in 15 flips of a 2-sided coin. Using the Binomial Probability table in the appendix of the text, what values of n, x, and p would we use to look up this probability, and what would be the probability?

This would be 15C3*0.5^3*0.5^12
n is 15
p=0.3
x=3
0.0139 is probability
