Hi,Re:  TY, finish it Up and You get .011

according to police sources, a car with a certain protection system will be recovered 87% of the time. 

Find the probablity that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered.

  Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is: 

P = nCx*  where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively. 

In this case p = .87 & q = .13

 = nCx = 

 P(4 will be recovered) =  8C4(.87)^4(.13^4)  =
