This is a binomial distribution type problem where the probability under the question is the sum


     P =       (1)


The number of trials is              20;
The indexes of success trials        k = 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
The probability of success trial     p = 0.2;
                                     q = 1 - p
C(n,k) = n! / (k! * (n-k)!)          are binomial coefficients.


The sum  (1)  is equal to  1 - .     (2)



Instead of calculating every term of (2) manually and then summing them up, you may use Excel function 

BINOM.DIST(10, 20, 0.2, TRUE)  to calculate the cumulative sum value


     = 0.999437.    


In this way, the value of  (2)  is equal to  1 - 0.999437 = 0.000563 (approximately).    ANSWER

Thus the problem is solved using Technology.
