**Problem Statement:**

Find \( P(S_N = 4) \) where \( N \) is a Binomial random variable with parameter \( r = 6 \) (number of times the experiment is performed) and \( p = 0.6 \).

**Explanation:**

- **Binomial Random Variable:** A random variable \( N \) is said to be binomial if it satisfies the criteria of a binomial experiment: fixed number of experiments, only two possible outcomes (success or failure), independent experiments, and constant probability of success.
  
- **Parameters:**
  - \( r = 6 \): The number of experiments conducted.
  - \( p = 0.6 \): The probability of success in each experiment.

The problem is to calculate the probability that the random variable \( S_N \) is equal to 4.
