Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Want probability of 5,6,7
15C5(.8)^5(.2)^10=3003*0.32768*0.0000001024=0.0001
15C6(.8^6)(.2)^9=0.0007
15C7(.8^7)(.2^8)=0.0035
Total is 0.0043.
This should be small, since the expected value is 12 and the variance 12*(0.2)=2.4, so Std dev. between 1.5 and 1.6. These values are 3-4+ sd below the mean.
-----------------------------
Treat as a normal distribution with mean np=400
Variance is np(1-p)=400(.8)=320
Std dev is sqrt (320)=17.89
probability it is >380 is
probability that z is > (x-mean)/sd=(380-400)/17.89=-1.11
That is 0.8682
