This is 15C5*0.3^5*0.7^10, and the answer from the table will be 0.206. The calculator and the formula on the left give the same answer (0.2061).
0.207 is the best choice.

You just have crystally clear instruction to "use a binomial probability table . . . ".

Follow this instruction LITERALLY and complete the assignment as instructed.

Do you expect and do you want the tutors will make your job instead of you ?

Do not waste your time . . .
