first one refusing the demand means,morethan two cars are demanded.

P(x>2) = 1 - P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)

                1 - (0.3012+0.36144+0.216864)

                1- 0.879504

                0.120496   = 0.12

second one @ least 3 accidents 

P(x @ least3) = 1 - P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)

                          1 - 0.1353+0.2706+0.2706

                          1 - 0.6765

                          0.3235

the number of taxidrivers with @ least 3 accidents is 

N * P(x @ least3)

500 * 0.3235

161.75
