The probability of getting 2 or fewer women when 11 people are picked is 0.033. This is because the probability of getting 2 women is 0.027, and the probability of getting 1 woman is 0.006. The probability of getting 0 women is 0.967. So, the probability of getting 2 or fewer women is 0.027 + 0.006 + 0.967 = 0.033.
