Quizplus · Accepted Answer

P(X < 2) means the probability of having less than 2 pesticides detected. This includes having no pesticides detected and having only one pesticide detected. Therefore, P(X < 2) is equal to the probability of having at most one pesticide detected, which is equivalent to P(X ≤ 1).
