Answer:


P(X=2)=0.64

Explanation:

-This is a binomial probability problem.

-Given n=2 and p=0.8, the probability that all of them enjoy beer is calculated as:


P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^(n-x)\\\\P(X=2)={2\choose2}0.8^2(0.2)^0\\\\=0.6400

Hence, the probability that all of them enjoy drinking is 0.64
