So 1 out of 24 eggs broken is the empirical probability.
Generate the probability,
P%28X%29=C%286%2CX%29%281%2F24%29%5EX%2A%281-1%2F24%29%5E%286-X%29
When X=2,
P%282%29=C%286%2C2%29%281%2F24%29%5E2%2823%2F24%29%5E4
P%282%29=15%2A%2823%5E4%2F24%5E6%29
P%282%29=1399205%2F63700992 or approximately
P%282%29=0.202
