~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
It is the binomial type probability distribution.


The number of trial n= 7; the probability of the success trial is  0.16,  and the number of success trial k = 2. 


    P = {{{C[7]^2*0.16^2*(1-0.16)^5}}} = {{{((7*6)/(1*2))*0.16^2*0.84^5}}} = 0.2248   (rounded).     <U>ANSWER</U>
