Answer:

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is 0.072

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to compute the probability of none of these 12 children learns to swim before 6 years of age. This is given by:

p(0) = (1 - 0.312)^(12) = 0.688^(12) = 0.01124

We now need to calculate the probability that one child learns to swim before 6 years of age.

p(1) = 12*0.312*(1 - 0.312)^(11) = 3.744*(0.688)^(11)

p(1) = 3.744*0.01634

p(1) = 0.0612

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is:

p = p(0) + p(1) = 0.01124 + 0.0612 = 0.07244
