A sort of discrete probability distribution called a binomial probability can have random values in the range [0,n], where n is the sample size. The binomial distribution's key characteristics are:
(a) It is discrete, and it can take values from 0 to n, where n is the sample size. 
(b) The type of skewness depends on the parameters n and p. 
 n=15 and p=0.63. n is fixed and p is the proportion of success defined.

P(8)=15!8!(158)!0.638(10.63)158 
P(8)=0.15159504816156
