Ali, Re: You already have said that 1100 is below 1%. Therefore it is 99% confident that the result will be somewhere between 901 and 1099. Yes, that's right. But the original question was how probably it is to get more than k heads. And this can only be calculated with summing or integrating the probability over all outcomes equal or greater than k. I think we both talked about different things here -- but good to see that we can agree now. The chances of getting more than 1500 heads are negligible. Andreas
