Step 1
P(X12), n=20, p=0.2
P(X12)=1P(X>12)
We first calculate:
P(X>12)=P(12<X20)=P(12X20)=P(X=12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
=P(X=13)+P(X=14)+P(X=15)+P(X=16)+P(X=17)+P(X=18)+P(X=19)+P(X=20) (because these are disjoint events)
P(X=13)=(2013)(0.2)13(10.2)7=77520(0.2)13(0.8)70.00001332
P(X=14)=(2014)(0.2)14(10.2)6=38760(0.2)14(0.8)60.000001665
P(X=15)=(2015)(0.2)15(10.2)5=15504(0.2)15(0.8)50.0000001665
P(X=16)=(2016)(0.2)16(10.2)4=4845(0.2)16(0.8)40.00000001301
P(X=17)=(2017)(0.2)17(10.2)3=1140(0.2)17(0.8)3=0.000000000765
P(X=18)=(
