Final answer:

To find the probability of X successes using the binomial distribution table, locate the row for n and the column for p, and find the value in the intersecting cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting X successes in a binomial distribution with n trials and probability of success p can be calculated using the binomial distribution table. In this case, n=3, p=0.9, and X=2.

To find P(X=2), refer to the binomial distribution table and locate the row for n=3. Then, find the column for the probability p=0.9. The value in the cell where the row and column intersect is the probability of getting X=2 successes, which is the desired answer.

Remember to use the table that provides probabilities for the specified values of n and p to accurately compute the probability.
