Hey I need help with this problem. I don't think I'm doing it correctly. 

An electronics store has received a shipment of 30 table radios that have connections for an iPod or iPhone. Twelve of these have two slots (so they can accommodate both devices), and the other eighteen have a single
slot. Suppose that eight of the 30 radios are randomly selected to be stored under a shelf where the radios are displayed, and the remaining ones are placed in a storeroom. Let X = the number among the radios stored
under the display shelf that have two slots.
(a) What kind of distribution does X have (name and values of all parameters)?
O binomial with n = 30, x= 12, and p = 8/30
Ⓒhypergeometric with N = 30, M = 12, and n = 8
O binomial with n = 12, x = 8, and p = 8/12
O hypergeometric with N = 12, M = 8, and n = 12
(b) Compute P(X=2), P(X ≤ 2), and P(X ≥ 2). (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
P(X=2) 1.1328

P(X ≤ 2) =
P(X ≥ 2) =
