1.  Open List & Spreadsheet on a new page.
Name first column 'x' for the number of successes and the second column 'p' for the probability \(p\) associate with each \(x\).

Populate the column of x with the numbers running from 0 to 7 by keying in the formula 
**seq(n,n,0,7)** into the second row of first column.

3.  Hit 'enter' and the first column will be filled up with all the x values for the binomial distribution.

4.  Key in the formula to calculate probability of each x value in the second row of second column by calling up Binompdf function under: menu > 4: Statistics > 2: Distributions > A: Binomial Pdf.
