Step 1
Given that, X is a Binomial Random Variable, with,
parameters, p=0.6, and n=10, denoted by.
XB(10, 0.6)
q=1p=0.4
Knowing that, for XB(n, p)
P(X=x)=nCxpxqnx
x=0, 1, 2,,n
Now, the Reqd.Prod.=P(X>8)
=P(X=9)+P(X=10)
=10C9(0.6)9(0.4)1+10C10(0.6)10(0.4)0
=10(0.6)9(0.4)+1(0.6)10(1)
=4(0.6)9+(0.6)10
=(0.6)9(4.6)
P(X>8)=0.0463574016
