A jury has 13 jurors. A vote of at least 11 of 13 for​ "guilty" is necessary for a defendant to be convicted of a crime. Assume that each juror acts independently of the others and that the probability that any one juror makes the correct decision on a defendant is 0.80.

If the defendant is​ guilty, what is the probability that the jury makes the correct​ decision?
