Did I do this probability question correctly? I feel like I am missing something.

Mimi plans on growing tomatoes in her garden. She has 15 cherry tomato seeds. Based on her experience, the probability of a seed turning into a seedling is 0.40.
 
Find the probability that she gets at least 2 cherry tomato seedlings. (round the answer to 3 decimal places)
 
 0.995 P(at least 2) = 1 – P(X = 0) – P(X=1)
1 – 15C0 * 0.40 *0.615- 15C1*0.41*0.614
1 – 0.0000 – 0.005
= 0.995
