Question 996845
Compute P(x = 2). Show your work. 


The basic template of the BINOMDIST function in excel is


BINOMDIST( <font color="red">Number_s</font> , <font color="blue">Trials</font>, <font color="green">Probability_s</font>, <font color="purple">Cumulative</font> )

where
<font color="red">Number_s</font> = number of successes
<font color="blue">Trials</font> = number of trials
<font color="green">Probability_s</font> = probability of success for single trial
<font color="purple">Cumulative</font> = boolean value (true or false) answering the question "is this cumulative?"



In this case,
<font color="red">Number_s</font> = 2 (since x = 2)
<font color="blue">Trials</font> = 15 (n = 15)
<font color="green">Probability_s</font> = 0.3 (because p = 0.3)
<font color="purple">Cumulative</font> = 0 (zero for false, we're not going to use cumuative here)


So to compute P(x = 2), you'll type in 
=BINOMDIST(2,15,0.3,0)
Don't forget the equal sign in front.
