Step-by-step explanation:
Use binomial probability:
P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ
where n is the number of trials,
r is the number of successes,
p is the probability of success,
and q is the probability of failure (1−p).
Here, n = 11, p = 0.56, q = 0.44, and r = 0, 1, or 2.
P = ₁₁C₀ (0.56)⁰ (0.44)¹¹ + ₁₁C₁ (0.56)¹ (0.44)¹⁰ + ₁₁C₂ (0.56)² (0.44)⁹
P = (0.44)¹¹ + 11 (0.56) (0.44)¹⁰ + 55 (0.56)² (0.44)⁹
P ≈ 0.0125
