Part 2 of 3
(b) Find the probability that a student participates in less than three activities.
The probability that aladent participates in less than three activities is

To find the probability that a student participates in less than three activities, we need to consider the different scenarios: participating in 0, 1, or 2 activities. Assuming the total number of activities a student can choose from and that the probability of participation is uniformly distributed, we would sum the probabilities of these scenarios to get the total probability. This type of problem often employs techniques such as the binomial probability formula or counting methods, depending on how the activities are structured.

For instance, if there are 5 activities and the probability of participating in each is 0.6, we calculate the probabilities of 0, 1, and 2 activities using the binomial formula. This would give us a comprehensive view of the likelihood of students engaging in fewer than three activities. Remember, practice makes perfect, so working through examples will help solidify this concept!
