Need help solving this math question?

Hey..so I can't remember ANYTHING from data management, and a friend of mine needed help solving this question:





1.Credit card companies are increasing their revenues by raising the late fee charges to their customers. In a recent year, 15% of all credit card customers had to pay a late fee. A random sample of 20 credit card holders is selected,





a)What is the expected number of customers who had to pay a late fee?





b)What is the probability that 0 customers had to pay a late fee?





c)What is the probability that no more than 3 customers had to pay a late fee?





d)What is the probability that no more than 10 customers had to pay a late fee?





Thanks in advance for any help
