Hi
Binomial distribution:  p = .66 , n= 6
  | P(2) = (6C2)(.66^2)(.34^4)

Trust Your calculator is doing the computations for You:
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like an Casio fx-115 ES plus
P(x) is binompdf(n, p, x-value).
P(2) = binompdf(6, .66, 2)=  .0873
P(4) = binompdf(6, .66, 4)=  .3290
P(x ≥ 2) =  1 -  P(x ≤  1) = 1 - binomcdf (6,.66,1) = 1 -.018 =  .982

Recommend Using stattrek.com to check Your results,
until You are familiar with Using Your Calculator.

Feeling comfortable with Your calculator is key to Your success working
with the various Distributions.
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
