This sounds like a poisson question.
If we have that lambda+=+0.2
Then we can look at P[X=n] = %28e%5E%28-lambda%29+%2A+lambda%5En%29%2F%28n%21%29
And so P[X=3] = %28e%5E%28-0.2%29+%2A+0.2%5E3%29%2F%283%21%29++=+highlight%28.0011%29+
P[X<=2] = P[X=0] + P[X = 1] + P[X=2]
I'll factor out e%5E%28-0.2%29
=
