Here's the Solution to this Question

Probability that price of titan is correct P_1=\dfrac{4}{8}=0.5


Probability that price of Rolex is correct P_2=\dfrac{2}{4}=0.5


Probability that price of Fossil is correct P_3=\dfrac{2}{9}=0.22


Probability that at least two of his predictions are correct on a given day

=P_1P_2\bar{P_3}+P_1\bar{P_2}P_3+\bar{P_1}P_2P_3+P_1P_2P_3\\=(0.5)(0.5)(1-0.22)+(0.5)(1-0.5)(0.22)+(1-0.5)(0.5)(0.22)+(0.5)(0.5)(0.22)\\=0.195+0.055+0.055+0.055\\=0.36
