Let's define the function P(x) for the probability of getting a parking space exactly x times over a 9 month period. it would be: 
P(x) = (0.3^x)(0.7^(9-x))*9!/(x!(9-x)!)  
Let me explain the above. The raising of (0.3^x)(0.7^(9-x)) is the probability of getting exactly x successes and 9-x failures. Then we shuffle them in the 9! possible arrangements. But since we can't tell the differences between successes, we divide by the x! different ways of arranging the successes. And since we can't distinguish between the different failures, we divide by the (9-x)! different ways of arranging those failures as well. So P(4) = 0.171532242 meaning that there's a 17.153% chance of getting a parking space exactly 4 times. 
Now all we need to do is calculate the sum of P(x) for x ranging from 4 to 9.

So
 P(4) = 0.171532242
 P(5) = 0.073513818
 P(6) = 0.021003948
 P(7) = 0.003857868
 P(8) = 0.000413343
 P(9) = 0.000019683
  And
 0.171532242 + 0.073513818 + 0.021003948 + 0.003857868 + 0.000413343
+ 0.000019683 = 0.270340902 
 So the probability of getting a parking space at least four out of the nine months is 27.034%

yan [13]
In this question it is already given that a person travels 8 miles in 0.5 hours. This is enough information to get to the required answer. Let us first write down all the information's that are already given in the question.
In 0.5 hours the person covers a distance = 8 miles
Then
In 1 hour the person covers a distance of = 8/0.5 miles
                                                                   = 16 miles
So the speed of the person in miles per hour = 16/1 miles/hour
                                                                         = 16 miles per hour
