Samuel plays a game in which he wins a prize 20% of the time.
(a) If Samuel plays 80 times, what is the expected number of times he will win a prize?
(b) If Samuel plays 50 times, what is the variance for the number of number of times he wins a prize?
(c) If Samuel plays the game 15 times, what is the probability that he will win a prize at least two of the times?
