  31             A multiple choice test has four possible answers to each of 16 questions.
  32             A student guesses the answer to each question, so the probability of
  33             getting a correct answer on any given question is one in four, a quarter,
  34             1/4, 25% or fraction 0.25. The conditions of the binomial experiment
  35             are assumed to be met: n = 16 questions constitute the trials; each question
  36             results in one of two possible outcomes (correct or incorrect); the probability
  37             of being correct is 0.25 and is constant if no knowledge about the subject
  38             is assumed; the questions are answered independently if the student's
  39             answer to a question in no way influences his/her answer to another question.
  40           </p>
  41 <p>
  42             First, we need to be able to use the binomial distribution constructor
  43             (and some std input/output, of course).

  56             The number of correct answers, X, is distributed as a binomial random
  57             variable with binomial distribution parameters: questions n and success
  58             fraction probability p. So we construct a binomial distribution:

 125             Then we can add the probabilities of some 'exactly right' like this:

 127 <pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cout</span> <span class="special">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="string">"Probability of getting none or one right is "</span> <span class="special">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="identifier">pdf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">quiz</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">pdf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">quiz</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="identifier">endl</span><span class="special">;</span>

 132             But if more than a couple of scores are involved, it is more convenient
 133             (and may be more accurate) to use the Cumulative Distribution Function
 134             (cdf) instead:

 141             Since the cdf is inclusive, we can get the probability of getting up
 142             to 10 right ( &lt;= )
 143           </p>

 174             If we want a &lt; rather than a &lt;= test, because the CDF is inclusive,
 175             we must subtract one from the score.

 183 <p>
 184             and similarly to get a &gt;= rather than a &gt; test we also need to
 185             subtract one from the score (and can again check the sum is unity). This
 186             is because if the cdf is <span class="emphasis"><em>inclusive</em></span>, then its complement
