7% repairs twice, 3% will require three or more.

I figured out the probability for one car but dont understand how to get 2 cars.
-------------
You have to assume that repairs on cars are independent events;
my lemon does make your car a lemon.
-----
P(a car will need repair) = 0.30
---
P(2 need repairs) = 0.3^2 = 0.09
