No need use binomial distribution,
The question is asking for a range of values within a week, and accidents each day event is independent of each other.
So u can add up the 1.45 each day for 7 days.

P(6<_X<_9) can be re written as
P(X<_9)-P(X<_5)
From here, u can use gc to calculate.

Yes, I wrote add up 1.45 each day for 7 days worth. So it technically means a new mean.
