We have formula
P(X)=n!x!(nx)!px(1p)nx
If a die is rolled then there are total 6 possible outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and only 1 outcome is favourable for getting a 4 on die. So,
p=16 
There will be successful trial if die gives a 4 otherwise unsuccessful. So two outcomes will be considered either a 4 comes or not. The die is rolled total 12 times so the total number of trials are fixed and among those 12 trials 4 should be successful. Each time the die is rolled is independent to previous outcomes, so each trial is independent and probability of getting a 4 will be equal in each trial. 
 P(X)=n!x!(nx)!px(1p)nx 
P(4)=12!4!(124)!(16)4(116)124 =12111098!248!(11296)(56)8 =495(11296)(3906251679616) 
P(4)0.0888, answer
