Explanation:
The probability that 5 parts are too large is
and since 5 parts are too large, the other 15 are of acceptable size with probability
Since any 5 parts can be too large in no particular order, there are
ways to do this, so the probability that exactly 5 parts are too large is

Given, product from a certain machine too large
is 15% of time i.e p=0.15
q=1-p=1-0.15=0.85
sample size (n)=20
Binomial distribution:
Answer = 0.1028
