Here's the Solution to this Question

Let $X=$ the number of defective fuses: $X\sim Bin (n, p).$

Given $n=10, p=1-0.954=0.046,q=0.954$

$P(X\ge 3)=1-P(X=0)-P(X=1)$

$-P(X=2)=1-\dbinom{10}{0}(0.046)^0(0.954)^{10-0}$

$-\dbinom{10}{1}(0.046)^1(0.954)^{10-1}$

$-\dbinom{10}{2}(0.046)^2(0.954)^{10-2}$

$\approx0.0091518085$
