Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
You may solve this question either using Binomial Distribution or Poisson Distribution.
Let's use Poisson for easy calculation and it is defined as,
P(X=x) = {e^(-l) * (l^x)}/x!
Here l = np where n= 10 and p=28% = 0.28
Hence l= 10* 0.28 = 2.8
They asked prob exactly equal to 2
P(X=2) = {e^(-2.8) * (2.8^2)}/2! = 0.0608*3.92 = 0.2383
Also
P(atleast two) = 1-P(x<2) = 1-{P(X=0)+P(X=1)} = 1- e^-2.8{1+2.8} = 1- 0.2310 = 0.7689
Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.Review
