p = 0.1

n = 6

This is a binomial distribution

P(X = x) = 6Cx * 0.1x * (1 - 0.1)6-x

i) P(X < 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

                 = 6C0 * 0.10 * 0.96 + 6C1 * 0.11 * 0.95

                 = 0.8857

ii) P(lose all 6) = (win 0)

                        = P(X = 0)

                        = 6C0 * 0.10 * 0.96

                        = 0.5314

iii) P(X = 2) = 6C0 * 0.12 * 0.94

                   = 0.0984
