Hi,
Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is:
P = nCx* where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively.
10.3% of students in statistics actually take the course because they want to
In this case p = .103 & q = .897
nCx =
P( 2 randomly selected, taking stat because they wanted to) = (.103)^2 = .0106
