The example calculates the number of possibilities with the

same figures as in the previous example, but now with regard

to order.

Binomial distribution

The routine calculates the probability of drawing exactly k

elements with the mark X of total n, where the probability of

X itself is p. Independent trials (with replacement).

The probability of drawing 3 elements with the mark X when

X has the probability of 0.6 is calculated. The number of in-

dependent trials is 10. p > 1 gives an error message.

The example may be the production of glasses where the

probability of first assortment is 0.6. If 20 glasses are produ-
