Jersey is a fantastic goalie who stops three out of every four penalty shots taken on her. In a particularly tough game, she faces five penalty shots. Which of the following represents the probability she let only one of the five shots score?
--------
Binomial Problem with n = 5 and p(stop) = 3/4 ; p(not stop) = 1/4
------
P(x = 1) = 5C1*(1/4)*(3/4)^4 = binompdf(5,1/4,1) = 0.3955
