what is the probability that she will answer exactly three questions correctly​?

Procedure

n=9

p=1/4=25%

[tex]P\mleft(x=3\mright)=9C3*\mleft(1/4\mright)^3\cdot\mleft(3/4\mright)^6=[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} P(x=3)=84\cdot\frac{1}{64}\cdot0.178 \\ P(x=3)=0.2336 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is 23.36% that she will answer exactly three questions correctly​
