Can any mathfag who can see this verify the math here?

OMG(osh). The memories of four-page+ problems. Thank goodness for calculators!!!
The formula for binomial probability is correct. Using the given information, the math is correct (see above exclamation).
The Law of Large Numbers states that the more times an experiment is conducted the closer those outcomes approach the theoretical probability. E.g., when tossing a coin there is a 50-50 chance the coin will land on heads or tails. (My teaching 7th-graders, we learn about independent outcomes involving coins, spinnners, 6-sided number cubes, and decks of playing cards.)
In this probability formula,
n = the fixed # of trials
x = specified # of successes
n-x = # of failures
p = probability of success in any given trial, i.e., 1/480 (This would be the point of question!)
1-p = probability of failure in any given trial.
On a side note (smile), music also speaks wonders to me, and I found this song running through my brain as I wrote this post:

Nice. Thanks.
Thanks for the analysis on the probability equation, lyby!
Prayers continuing for your community.
