[R] binom.test()

[Robin Hankin]

Hello everybody.  

Does anyone else find the last test in the following sequence odd?  
Can anyone else reproduce it or is it just me?


> binom.test(100,200,0.13)$p.value
[1] 2.357325e-36
> binom.test(100,200,0.013)$p.value
[1] 6.146546e-131
> binom.test(100,200,0.0013)$p.value
[1] 1.973702e-230
> binom.test(100,200,0.00013)$p.value
[1] 0.9743334
