A coin is tossed 16 times. What is the probability of obtaining exactly 14 heads?
When calculating a probability, we take the ratio of the number of ways to meet a certain condition (i.e. the numerator) divided by the number of ways to pick from a pool (i.e. the denominator).
Of those results, how many ways can we achieve 14 heads in 16 tosses?
This is a combinations calculation, with the general formula:
And so we have:

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
