Probability Functions
Factorial
To calculate the
factorial
of a displayed non-negative integer
x
(0
≤
x
≤
253), press
¹
*
(the left–shifted
,
key).
Gamma
To calculate the
gamma function
of a noninteger
x
,
Γ
(
x
), key in (
x
– 1) and press
¹
*
. The
x
! function calculates
Γ
(
x
+ 1). The value for
x
cannot be a negative
integer.
Probability
Combinations
To calculate the number of possible sets of
n
items taken
r
at a time, enter
n
first,
¹
x
, then
r
(nonnegative integers only). No item occurs more than once in a
set, and different orders of the same
r
items are not counted separately.
Permutations
To calculate the number of possible
arrangements
of
n
items taken
r
at a time, enter
n
first,
¹
{
, then
r
(nonnegative integers only). No item occurs more than
once in an arrangement, and different orders of the same
r
items
are
counted
separately.
Seed
To store the number in
x
as a new seed for the random number generator, press
º
§
.
Random number generator
To generate a random number in the range 0
≤
x
<
1, press
º

. (The
number is part of a uniformly–distributed pseudo–random number sequence. It
passes the spectral test of D. Knuth,
