You can put this solution on YOUR website! a basketball team has a probability of 0.7 of making each free throw. If they shoot 5 free throws at the end of a game determine the probability that they make all 5 shots
-----
Binomial Problem with n = 5 : p(score) = 0.7 ; p(miss)= 0.3
---------
P(x = 5) = 0.7^5 = 0.1681
----------------------------------
make at least 4 shots
P(at least 4 shots) = P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)
------
= 5C4(0.7)^4(0.3) + 0.1681
------
= 0.5282
