This is a binomial distribution problem
(n C k)*(p)^(k)*(1-p)^(n-k) ... n C k is found through the combination formula (n!)/(k!*(n-k)!)
(7 C 2)*(0.28)^(2)*(1-0.28)^(7-2)
21*(0.28)^(2)*(1-0.28)^(7-2)
21*(0.28)^(2)*(0.72)^5
21*0.0784*0.1934917632
0.31856483893249
Final Answer: 0.31856483893249 (this is approximate, round appropriately if needed)
