Calculator: TI84

Press 2ND vars, then scroll to binompdf(, press enter 
use the number of trials as 5, and the value of p as 0.527,
and x values as 0,1,2,3,4,5

p(0) = binompdf(5,0.527,0) = 0.0236758568
p(1) = binompdf(5,0.527,1) = 0.1318940434
p(2) = binompdf(5,0.527,2) = 0.2939034287
p(3) = binompdf(5,0.527,3) = 0.3274568857
p(4) = binompdf(5,0.527,4) = 0.1824204849
p(5) = binompdf(5,0.527,5) = 0.0406493005
-----------------------------------------
                       sum = 1.0000000000
