The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:
The probability associated to a failure would be p =1-0.09 = 0.91
The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:
Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:
And we want to find this probability:
And we can find the individual probabilities:
And replacing we got:
The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this: 
. When we do that multiplication, we have 
. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0. 
. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier: 
. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.
