i. To find the probability that less than two students come from rural family, we need to calculate the probability of 0 students and 1 student coming from rural family.

Probability of 0 students coming from rural family:
P(0) = (55/100)^10

Probability of 1 student coming from rural family:
P(1) = 10C1 * (45/100) * (55/100)^9

Adding these two probabilities together:
P(0 or 1) = P(0) + P(1)

P(0 or 1) = (55/100)^10 + 10C1 * (45/100) * (55/100)^9

ii. To find the probability that greater than at least one student come from a rural family, we need to calculate the probability of 1 student, 2 students, 3 students, 4 students, 5 students, 6 students, and 7 students coming from rural family.

We will then add these probabilities together to get the total probability of at least one student coming from a rural family.
