probability is constant and independent of trials.
trials are Bernouli, i.e. either success or failure.
Number of trials is known.
All this point to the binomial distribution where
P(k successes out of n)
=nCk p^k (1-p)^(n-k)
p=probability of success of each independent trial=0.51
n=total number of trials=9
k=3

N=9 p=.51 q=1-.51=.49
9 nCr 3= 84
84(.51^3)(.49^6)
=0.154
9 nCr 3= 84
84(.51^3)(.49^6)
=0.154
