4. NBA All-Star James Harden has a career Free-Throw percentage (FT%) of 86% (p = .86). In a sample of 50 free-throws (n=50), use the binomial distribution to find each probability: a) Getting exactly 40 FTs ($x = 40$). (12 pts) b) Getting at most 40 FT ($x \leq 40$). c) Getting at most 45 FTs ($x \leq 45$). d) Getting at least 45 FTs ($x \geq 45$) e) Find the mean and standard deviation FTs. f) Would it be a rare event to get all 50 FTs ($x = 50$)?

Question 1 The probability that Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors successfully makes a free throw is 0.908. Assume this probability is the same for any free throw attempt and that free throw attempts are independent. a) If Stephen Curry makes 8 free throw attempts in a game, what is the probability that he makes at least 7 of them? (6 pts) b) If Stephen Curry makes 8 free throw attempts in a game, what is the mean and standard deviation for the number of free throws that he makes? (5 pts) c) If Stephen Curry makes a total of 80 free throw attempts in the playoffs, what is the probability that he makes exactly 70 of them? (4 pts)

Exhibit: Basketball Player A basketball player makes 80 percent of his free throws during the regular season. Consider his next eight free throws. Please, include at least 4 decimal places in the answers with fractions. a) What is the probability that the player will make more than 4 free throws? b).What is the probability that the player will make less than 5 free throws? c).What is the probability that the player will make at most 5 free throws?

8. A basketball player completes a free throw 80% of the time. In practice the player goes to the free throw line and takes 5 shots in a row. a) Make a table showing the probability distribution of successes and their probabilities b) Draw the probability histogram. c) What is the shape of the distribution? d) What is the mean? e) What is the standard deviation?
