You can put this solution on YOUR website! A certain basketball player usually scores on 47% of his shots. If this probability remains constant throughout a game, how likely is he to score on all of his first five shots? On at least four of these five shots? At least P three?
------
Binomial Problem with n = 5 and p(score) = 0.47
----
1st five: P(x = 5) = 0.47^5
-----
P(4<= x <=5) = 1-binomcdf(5,0.47,3) = 0.1522
-----
P(3<= x <=5) = 1 - binomcdf(5,0.47,2) = 0.4439
