[R] solving equation consisting of factorials

Hi, I was trying to solve for m such that, choose(n-1,k-1)+choose(n-2,k-1)+...+choose(n-m+1,k-1) - ck=0 ck is calculated by the way given in the code. Now I solved for m using uniroot but the error messages appeared. n<-30 k=3 alpha<-0.05 nk<-choose(n,k); ck<-(nk/2)+k*nk*qnorm(1-alpha)/(1
