p=0.69, probability of success; 1-p=0.31, probability of failure.
(p+(1-p))⁹=1=p⁹+9p⁸(1-p)+36p⁷(1-p)²+84p⁶(1-p)³+126p⁵(1-p)⁴+126p⁴(1-p)⁵+84p³(1-p)⁶+36p²(1-p)⁷+9p(1-p)⁸+(1-p)⁹.
Each term gives the probability of each outcome: exponent of p is the number of successes.
The sum of the probabilities of the first two terms is the probability of more than 7 successes.
So p⁹+9p⁸(1-p) = p⁸(p+9-9p)= p⁸(9-8p) = 0.0514(9-5.52) = 0.0514×3.48 = 0.1788 = 17.88% approx.
