The probability of successes in trials where is the probability of success on any given trial is given by:
Where is the number of combinations of things taken at a time and is calculated by
Your probability of success on any given trial is given as 80%, but you didn't bother to share the number of trials or the desired number of successes, so you are on your own from here.
