Two tailed
, orRight-sided
depending on your problem.
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting exactly successes, you can find it in the table on the right-hand side.
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting at least successes, choose
Right-sided
and enter the value of .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting at most successes, choose
Left-sided
and enter the value of .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability that the number of successes is between and successes, including and , choose
Interval
and enter the values of and .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability that the number of successes is not between and successes, including and , choose
Two tailed
and enter the values of and . Alternatively, you can compute the probability in the item above, and then take that probability and subtract it from 1.
