Here cdf_binomial() is a distribution function of binomial random variable:
By trial and error I found that n=164. But is it possible to express n for a direct calculation? How did people solve such problems before the age of computers?

Re: How to find a number of trials?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
