Given that n=20 and p=0.70, we need to find P(X<2), where X is a binomial random variable with parameters n and p.
To solve the problem, we can use the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the binomial distribution:
F(x)=P(Xx)=k=0x(nk)pk(1p)nk
Using this formula, we have:
P(X<2)&=P(X=0)+P(X=1)
=(200)(0.70)0(0.30)20+(201)(0.70)1(0.30)19
=(1)(1)(0.30)20+(201)(0.70)(0.30)19
=0.000006561+0.000114413
=0.000121974
Therefore, P(X<2)=0.000121974.
