Answer

Final Answer: The answer is \(\boxed{0.08192}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given values are \(n = 6\), \(p = 0.2\), and \(x = 3\).

Step 2 :Calculate combinations, which is \({ }_{n} C_{x}\). In this case, it is \({ }_{6} C_{3} = 20\).

Step 3 :Calculate powers, which are \(p^{x}\) and \((1-p)^{n-x}\). In this case, they are \(0.2^{3} = 0.008\) and \((1-0.2)^{6-3} = 0.512\).

Step 4 :Calculate the result by multiplying the combinations and the powers. The result is \(20 \times 0.008 \times 0.512 = 0.08192\).

Step 5 :This is the probability of getting exactly 3 successes in 6 trials, when the probability of success on each trial is 0.2.

Step 6 :Final Answer: The answer is \(\boxed{0.08192}\).
