  Use at least two approaches (if possible) when answering a numerical question related to the Binomial distribution, i.e., (i) manually apply the formulas for factorials, binomial coefficients, and the binomial probability formula, (ii) work with Table C (in the Appendix of the textbook), or (iii) use the applet that is accessible via the online pages of our textbook by following/selecting CrunchIt (for IPS7e) -> Statistics -> Distribution Calculator -> Discrete -> Binomial (and then enter n and p and the relationship such as "<" or "=" and the value). Are the three results exactly the same, almost the same, or not identical at all? Why? Be aware that in the final exam, you must use approach (i) for these questions, but approaches (ii) and (iii) will allow you to check your results in the homework before submitting your answers.
