            In this problem,  it is not assumed that the student will think.

            It is assumed,  that the student  DOES  KNOW  the basics. 


    P = C%5B19%5D%5E17%2Ap%5E17%2A%281-p%29%5E2 = %28%2819%2A18%29%2F2%29%2A0.9%5E17%2A0.1%5E2 = 0.285179807 = 0.2852  (rounded).    ANSWER

Solved.
