"Hi Elisabeth, Thank you so much for your help! I was looking for help though with the manual calculations of the part below though so I would know how to do this problem, and cannot turn in my assignment with an online calculator used for the part below. Could you possibly answer the question below without the online calculator? We have to show our work. Thank you! A calculator to automatically solve these probabilities is here: http://www.vassarstats.net/textbook/ch5apx.html Fill in the table on that website with N = 4 and p = 0.5. Change the value of k to e 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 to find the theoretical probabilities for each possible number of heads. They are: a. Zero Heads = 0.0625 = 6.25% b. One Head = 0.25 = 25% c. Two Heads = 0.375 = 37.5% d. Three Heads = 0.25 = 25% e. Four Heads = 0.0625 = 6.25%"
