Calculation:
Binomial probability:
Suppose X is a random variable with n trails and probability of success p, then probability of getting exactly k successes is,
P(X=k)=(nk)pk(1p)nk
Substitute n=12,p=0.75,k=8 in the binomial probability formula.
P(X=8)=(128)(0.75)8(10.75)128
=495×0.1001×(0.25)4
=49.56×0.0039
=0.194
Hence, the value of P(X=8) is 0.194.
