ur question is wrong. for a binomial distribution....variance is always less than mean.

mean = np (n=no. of events. p=probability of success)
variance = npq (q=probability of failures)

Variance/Mean = npq/np = q ...now probablity of failure is always less than 1...so. variance is less than mean for binomial distribution

np=4
npq=2

So,
q=1/2
p=1/2
n=8

P(X>6) = 8C7(0.5)^8 + 8C8(0.5)^8 = 5/256...ans
