I'll do the first one to get you started.
a)
P(X = x) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)
P(X = 4) = (8 C 4)*(0.25)^(4)*(1-0.25)^(8-4)
P(X = 4) = (8 C 4)*(0.25)^(4)*(0.75)^(8-4)
P(X = 4) = (70)*(0.25)^(4)*(0.75)^4
P(X = 4) = (70)*(0.00390625)*(0.31640625)
P(X = 4) = 0.086517333984375
So the answer is P(X = 4) = 0.086517333984375
Note: n C x = (n!)/(x!(n-x)!)
So 8 C 4 = (8!)/(4!(8-4)!) = 70
