You need to calculate the probability of 8 successful events out of 10 trials where the probability of success on any given event is 0.90.

The probability of successful events out of trials where the probability of success on any given event is is given by:



where is the number of ways to choose things from a collection of things given by

Just plug in the given numbers and start wailing on your calculator.
