n=20,p=0.07n = 20 ,p = 0.07


We need to find:

P(x < 3)


So, Probability of tornado fewer than 3-


P(x<2)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)=20C0(0.1)0(0.93)20+20C1(0.1)1(0.93)19+20C2(0.1)2(0.93)18P(x < 2) = P(0) + P(1)+P(2)\\=^{20}C_0(0.1)^0 (0.93)^{20} +^{20}C_1(0.1)^1 (0.93)^{19} +^{20}C_2(0.1)^2 (0.93)^{18}  


=0.2342+0.3526+0.2521=0.839=0.2342+0.3526+0.2521=0.839
