We can patiently work out the probability $f_(X)(0)$ that exactly $0$ people arrive late, the probability $f_X(1)$ that exactly $1$ person arrives late, the probability $f_X(2)$ that exactly $2$ people arrive late, and so on up to the probability $f_X(8)$ that $8$ people arrive late.
What is $f_X(0)$? The two singles must arrive on time, and the three couples also must. It follows that $f_X(0)=(0.6)^5$.
What is $f_X(1)$? Exactly $1$ person, a single, must arrive late, and all the rest must arrive on time. The tardy single can be chosen in $2$ ways. The probabiliy that (s)he arrives late is $0.4$. The probability that the other single and the three couples arrive on time is $(0.6)^4$. It follows that $f_X(1)=(2)(0.4)(0.6)^4.$
What is $f_X(2)$? Two late can happen in two different ways. Either (i) the two singles are late, and the couples are on time or (ii) the singles are on time but one couple is late.
(i) The probability that the two singles are late, but the couples are not is $(0.4)^2(0.6)^3$.
(ii) The probability that the two singles are on time is $(0.6)^2$. Given that the singles are on time, the late couple can be chosen in $3$ ways. The probability that it is late is $0.4$, and the probability the other two couples are on time is $(0.6)^2$. So the probability of (i) is $(0.6)^2(3)(0.4)(0.6)^2$, which looks better as $(3)(0.4)(0.6)^4$. It follows that $f_X(2)=(0.4)^2(0.6)^3+(3)(0.4)(0.6)^4.$
What is $f_X(3)$. Here a single must arrive late, and also a couple. The late single can be chosen in $2$ ways, The probability (s)he is late but the other single is not is $(0.4)(0.6)$. The late couple can be chosen in $3$ ways. The probability it is late and the other two couples are not is $(0.4)(0.6)^2$. Putting things together, we find that $f_X(3)= (2)(3)(0.4)^2(0.6)^3.$
What is $f_X(4)$? This calculation is like the one for $f_X(2)$, since we either have the two singles and one couple late, or two couples late. So the calculation will break up into two cases.
Since this is homework, it's now your turn. Some, like $f_X(8)$, will be very easy. Some will be less easy, but they all follow the lines of the calculations above. It is quite difficult (at least for me) to do this sort of thing without making at least one slip. So when you find all the answers, add them up and see whether the sum is $1$, as it must be.
