Binomial probability of at least a given number of successes and a conditional binomial probability

Apples are packed into bags of \(15\). Each apple, independently of the others, is free of blemishes with probability \(0.885\).

    1. Find the probability that a randomly chosen bag contains at least \(12\) blemish-free apples.
    2. A bag is known to contain at least \(12\) apples that are free of blemishes. Find the probability that it contains more than one blemished apple.
