Answer:

The correct answer is

(B) 0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability distribution means that we have these following probabilities:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.10[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.30[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.30[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.20[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.10[/tex]

What is the probability of having at least 2 successful calls in one day?

This is the following probability.

[tex]P = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

[tex]P = 0.30 + 0.20 + 0.10[/tex]

[tex]P = 0.60[/tex]

The correct answer is

(B) 0.60
