Explanation / Answer

P(1 repair)=0.16

P(2 repairs) = 0.06

P(more than 2 repairs) = 0.03

A.

P(no repairs) = 1-(P(one repair)+P(2 repairs)+P(more than 2 repairs))

P(no repairs) = 1 - 0.16 - 0.06 - 0.03

P(no repairs) = 0.75

B.

P(more than one repair) = P(2 repairs)+P(more than 2 repairs)

P(more than one repair) = 0.06+0.03 = 0.09

C.

P(some repairs) = P(more than 2 repairs) = 0.03
