Detailed Solution

Total number of balls = 10 
Red 3, Blue = 5 and Yellow =2 
3 Probability of getting red ball, p= 3/10
7 Probability of not getting red ball, q= 7/10 
Five balls are randomly selected, n = 5 
Now, probability that fewer than 2 of the selected balls 
are red,
P(X=0)+P(X=1)=5C031007105+5C131017104=75105+3×74×5105=74(7+15)105=22×74105
Probability = 0.5282.
