- I have an HP 42S, and have noticed a strange error (ever since I started
- taking a Probabilities class, and started using this function). The
- PROB and COMB functions, with integers in X and Y, give an Invalid Data
- error.
-
- It's apparently an intermittent error. Sometimes I seem to press some
- keystrokes while playing with it that makes it work. Then, later if I
- do something else (maybe CLIST?), it's bad again.
-
- Is this a known bug? Any ideas?
-
- I don't normally read this newsgroup, so please email any responses
- to me, and I will summarize if there is enough interest.
