Here's the Solution to this Question

Let X= the number of people in the Philippines with Type B positive blood: X\sim Bin (n, p).

Given n=8, p=0.09, q=1-p=1-0.09=0.91


P(X<3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)

=\dbinom{8}{0}(0.09)^0(0.91)^{8-0}+\dbinom{8}{1}(0.09)^1(0.91)^{8-1}

+\dbinom{8}{2}(0.09)^2(0.91)^{8-2}=0.97111328
