In a basketball free-throw contest, the probability that Eric will be successful on each shot is 4/5. Find the Probability that Eric will be successful in:
a)exactly 2 out of 3 shots
probability = %28matrix%282%2C1%2C3%2C2%29%29%284%2F5%29%5E2%281%2F5%29 = highlight%280.384%29
b)at least 2 out of 3 shots
probability = = highlight%280.896%29
c)at most 1 out of 3 shots
probability = = highlight%280.104%29
d)exactly 2 out of 4 shots
probability = %28matrix%282%2C1%2C4%2C2%29%29%284%2F5%29%5E2%281%2F5%29%5E2 = highlight%280.1536%29
