1015. In a hurdle race, a player has to cross 10 hurdles. The probability that he will clear each hurdle is $5 over 6.$ What is the probability that the will knock down fewer than 2 hurdles?

Here n = 10
Probability of clearing each hurdle = $5 over 6$
Let p be the probability of knocking each hurdle
$therefore space space space straight p space equals space 1 minus 5 over 6 space equals space 1 over 6 therefore space space space straight q space equals space 1 minus straight p space equals space 1 minus 1 over 6 space equals space 5 over 6$
P(fewer than 2 hurdles) = P(0) + P(1)
