Step 1
This is a binomial probability question. The general form is:
k=0nCn, k(p)k(1p)nk=1
or in other words, the sum of all the possible results from a given population (n) from all the trials (k) with a set probability (p) will sum to 1.
Here, we have n=10 and p=0.6
We can sum up for 3k10 or we can subtract 0k2 from 1 to find the probability:
1(C10, 0(0.6)0(0.4)10+C10, 1(0.6)1(0.4)9+C10, 2(0.6)2(0.4)8)10.01229
0.98771
