Well to calculate, for example, the odds of 9 people catching it, you multiply $0.4^9 * 0.6^8 * 17C9$. Do you recognise this at all? It would take a while to calculate this for 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 people catching. There are cumulative binomial probability tables with the data already calculated.
