    a. at r = 2

    P = [10! / (10 - 2) ! 2!] * 0.33^2 * 0.67^ (10 - 2)

    P = 0.1989 ~ 0.20 (answer)

    b. We deduct the values of P when r = 0, r = 1, r = 2 from 1 to get all values when r > 2

    at r = 0

    P = [10! / (10 - 0) ! 0!] * 0.33^0 * 0.67^ (10 - 0)

    P = 0.0182

    at r = 1

    P = [10! / (10 - 1) ! 1!] * 0.33^1 * 0.67^ (10 - 1)

    P = 0.0898

    so for r > 2, the probability is:

    P = 1 - (0.1989 + 0.0182 + 0.0898)

    P = 0.6931 (answer)

    c. at r = 3

    P = [10! / (10 - 3) ! 3!] * 0.33^3 * 0.67^ (10 - 3)

    P = 0.2614

    at r = 4

    P = [10! / (10 - 4) ! 4!] * 0.33^4 * 0.67^ (10 - 4)

    P = 0.2253

    at r = 5

    P = [10! / (10 - 5) ! 5!] * 0.33^5 * 0.67^ (10 - 5)

    P = 0.1332

    So when r is between 2 and 5 inclusive, the probability is:

    P = 0.1989 + 0.2614 + 0.2253 + 0.1332

    P = 0.8188 (answer)
