Hi

 Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is: 

P = nCx*  where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure 

respectively. In this case p = .20 and q = .80

nCx =   n =100

probability that between 17% and 22% of 100 randomly selected pregnancies are classified as premature?

P( >22)  - P(<17) = .8077 - .1923 = .6154
