How can I simulate EPR and Bell’s inequalities in qiskit?

According to Bernard Zygelman "A First Introduction to Quantum Computing and Information", I can compute the $QS|f\rangle$ with $|f\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (|00\rangle -|11\rangle)$, ...

Verifying equation 4 in Ekert's paper "Quantum Cryptography Based on Bell's Theorem"

Ekert's 1999 paper (link to download) cites the classic CHSH paper on generalized Bell inequality and says (2) $E(a,b)=-a\cdot b$ (3) $S = E(a_1,b_1)-E(a_1,b_3)+E(a_3,b_1)_E(a_3,b_3)$ (4) $S = -2\sqrt(...
