i did not understand that one at all someone plz explain it

The probability of only getting blue is (4/5)^n and the probability of only getting green pens was (1/5)^n so you subtract them both from 1

why do you square them by n?

you put them to the power of n because you take pens n times. For example if you took two pens, the probability of just getting blue pens would be 4/5 x 4/5
what did u guys get for the iteration question

(1-0.8^n-0.2^n)

Can't you work it out by doing 4/5 * n * 1/5 *n = (4n^2)/25

it cant be that as any number over 2 would have probability greater than one and highest probability is 1
