If there is a 20% probability of rain for each of the next 7 days, what is the probability that it will rain on exactly 1 of the next 7 days?

This is binomial distributed with parameters n=7 and p=0.2

Well, there's a formula that comes with the binomial distribution: \[P(X=x)=\left(\begin{matrix}n \\ c\end{matrix}\right)p^{x}(1-p)^(n-x)\] I'm sure you can fill all the values in?
