This is a binomial problem with n = 12 ; p = 0.09
P(x=0) = 12C0(0.09)^0(0.91)^12 = 0.91^12 = 0.3225
-------------------------------------------------------------
b. If 12 drivers were randomly selected, what is the probability of getting 3 or more who were involved in a car accident last year?
P(x>=3) = 1-P(0<= x <=2) = 1 - binomcdf(12,0.09,2) = 0.0866..
