I have given the solution, but i don't know how to get the number In the rectangular area. Please elaborate me how to get that. Thank you!

Here is the problem :

Student answers choosing randomly YES or NO. To pass the exam he must answer correctly for at
least 2/3 of all questions. What is his chance if there are: (a) 6 , (b) 9 , (c) 12 questions in the test?

Step 1
In this case, it is appropriate to apply binomial distribution.
Binomial distribution:
S nCyp"(1 – p)"-"y = 0, 1, 2, ...n, p + (1 – p) = 1,0 <p < 1
0, O. W
P (Y = y) =
Students will pass exam if he gives correct answers out of n.
That is, P (Y > žn).
a)
When n=6,
P(Y > žn)=P (Y > { × 6)
=P (Y > 4)
=P (Y = 4) + P (Y = 5) + P (Y = 6)
=0. 2343 + 0.0938 + 0.0156
=0. 3437
