Here's the Solution to this Question

Let X= the number of defective parts: X\sim Bin(n, p).

Given n=60, p=0.12, q=1-p=1-0.12=0.88


P(X>8)=1-P(X=0)-P(X=1)

-P(X=2)-P(X=3)-P(X=4)


-P(X=5)-P(X=6)-P(X=7)

-P(X=8)=1-\dbinom{60}{0}(0.12)^0(0.88)^{60-0}

-\dbinom{60}{1}(0.12)^1(0.88)^{60-1}-\dbinom{60}{2}(0.12)^2(0.88)^{60-2}

-\dbinom{60}{3}(0.12)^3(0.88)^{60-3}-\dbinom{60}{4}(0.12)^4(0.88)^{60-4}

-\dbinom{60}{5}(0.12)^5(0.88)^{60-5}-\dbinom{60}{6}(0.12)^6(0.88)^{60-6}

-\dbinom{60}{7}(0.12)^7(0.88)^{60-7}-\dbinom{60}{8}(0.12)^8(0.88)^{60-8}

=0.29007983737

The probability of randomly selecting 60 parts and finding that 8 more are defective is 0.29008.
