Hi

If Brian makes 65% of his free throws, 

what is the probability that he will make 3 out of the 5

Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is: 

P = nCx*  where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively. 

In this case p= .65 & q = .35

nCx =  = 5*4*3/2*3 = 10

 P( making 3 out of 5) = 10(.65)^3(.35)^2 = .3364
