Open Question: Can you do this math problem? probably not?
The real way to find this is to figure out the probability that 0 or 1 eggs are broken, then subtract that from 100%.
The probability that 0 eggs are broken is (0.98)^12 because each individual egg has a 98% chance of staying intact, and the probabilities of those are each independent of one another. The probability that a single egg is broken is (0.02)*(0.98)^11, but there are 12 possibilities of those, so you have to multiply that number by 12.
(0.98)^12 + 12(0.02)(0.98)^11
0.7847 + 0.1921
0.9768 or 97.68%. That's the probability that exactly 0 or 1 eggs are broken. To find 2 more eggs:
1 - 0.9768 (that's 100% - 97.68%)
That will give you 0.0232 or 2.3 %. (NOT 0.2%)
