Step 3

Now Here Required Probability=P(X=2 OR X=4) = P(X=2) + P(X=4)

Because P(X=2) And P(X=4 ) are mutually exclusive events 

Now 

P(X=2)=1020.420.68=0.1209

And 

P(X=3)= 1040.440.66=0.2508

Now 

P(X=2 OR 4) = P(X=2) + P(X=4) = 0.1209 + 0.2508 = 0.3717ANS  

 

 

I don't understand your step 3. what is 1040.440.66? and hơ you come up to the answer?
