HI
Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is:
.
P = nCx* p%5Ex*q%5E%28n-x%29 where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively. In this case both p =.35 q = .65
.
nCx = n%21%2F%28x%21%28n-x%21%29%29
.
9C2 = 9!/(2!7!) = 9*4 = 36
.
P (2 successes in 9 trials) = 36* .35%5E2*.65%5E%287%29
