This is a binomial distribution question with
n = 180
p = 0.001
q = 1 p = 0.999
where
P ( X = x ) = ( x n ) p x q n x P ( X = 2 ) , n = 180 , p = 0.001 X B i n o m i a l ( n = 180 , p = 0.001 2 X = 2 ) P ( X = 2 ) = ( 180 2 ) 0.001 2 0.999 180 2 P ( X = 2 ) = 16110.00.001 2 0.999 178 = 16110.00.00.8369 P ( X = 2 ) = 0.0135
