2 The residents of Persham were surveyed about the reliability of their internet service. 12% rated the service as ‘poor’, 36% rated it as ‘satisfactory’ and 52% rated it as ‘good’. A random sample of 8 residents of Persham is chosen. (a) Find the probability that more than 2 and fewer than 8 of them rate their internet service as poor or satisfactory.
