occurs between 25 and 40 times inclusive?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The problem is posed incorrectly.

First, the info about  120  tosses is unrelated and irrelevant.

Our attention should be focused on  16  tosses from  25  to  40  inclusive,  only.

Second,  the problem asks about the probability to get at least  5  dots om the top face,
but does not specify, how many times this event is expected to happen:

    - once ?     - two times ?     - 9 times ?     - at leat once ?


The problem's composer deserves a ticket for his  (or her)  work.
