Computing binomial probabilities with Minitab

So you are asking Minitab to enter all values from 0 to 15 in the column C1. You
will see the values appear in column C1. Next you use the probability
distributions command (as described above) to compute the probabilities
associated with the values in column C1, only that instead of using “input
constant” box you use “Input Column” and select C1. For storage specify a
different column, say C2. Press Ok. You will see the probabilities appear in
column C2 in your worksheet.
Unfortunately Minitab cannot draw the histogram of the data if it is given in two
columns out of which one contains the probabilities associated with the values in
the first column (or at least I haven’t found that out yet).
Surprisingly enough this can be done with TI83.
One way of getting the histogram of a binomial distribution is to generate
random data following the given model and construct a histogram of the data
generated.
Here are the steps to do just that. We will generate 1000 values from a Binomial
model with 15 trials and probability p=0.7 of success. That is, Minitab will
generate 100 rows of data that will represent the number of successes out of 15
trials.
Choose CALC- Random Data – Binomial. Enter the number of rows to
generate (1000 in our case), specify the number of trials and the probability of
success as well as the column where you want the data to be stored (C3 on our
screen). Press OK. See screen shots on next page.
