It is a binomial distribution probability problem.

    - number of trials         n =  10;
    - number of success trials k >=  3;
    - Probability of success on a single trial p = 0.46.



We need calculate  P(n=10; k>=3; p=0.46).      


To facilitate calculations, I use an appropriate online (free of charge) calculator at this web-site

It provides nice instructions  and  a convenient input and output for all relevant options/cases.


    P(n=10; k>=3; p=0.46) = 0.91108594003,   or   0.9111 (rounded).       ANSWER

Solved.
