Ti-83 Probability of events occurring

741 Views Asked by At

First time here, more frequent over at StackOverflow. So not sure if calculator questions are accepted here, but I'll ask.

Is there a quick way to solve problems like this in the ti-83:

  1. 82% shot success rate out of 7 shots taken, find odds of exactly 3 shots going in, more than 5 shots going in. (I know how to do the written out way using nCr but it would save time on the exam if I knew a faster way).

  2. Lets say 10% of people pay $\$$30, 70% pay $\$$52, and 20% pay $\$$60. Is there a way to get the mean and standard deviation of that by modifying the stats on ti-83 (I know, very easy mean is (.1*30)+... just wondering if there a way without entering 30 1 time and 52 7 times and so on in L1 then calculating the 1 var stats.

Thanks!

Your first question, my first answer :-)

1a. 2nd--->distr--->binompdf--->(7, 0.82, 3) 1b. 1 - 2nd--->distr--->binomcdf--->(7, 0.82, 5) Note thats CDF, not pdf

  1. Enetering 7 52's can be done easily, but I don't rememebr how. Sorry.
