A college basketball player makes 80% of his free throws. At the end of a game, his team is losing by two points. He is fouled attempting a 3-point shot and is awarded three free throws. Assuming each free throw is independent, what is the probability that he makes at least one of the free throws?

Suppose a basketball player is an excellent free throw shooter and makes 91% of his free throws (i.e., he has a 91% chance of making a single free throw). Assume that free throw shots are independent of one another. Suppose this player shoots five free throws. Find the probability that he makes all five throws.

Suppose a basketball player is an excellent free throw (shots awarded when a player is fouled) shooter and makes 80% of his free throws (or he has and 80% chance of making a single free throw). Assume that free throw shots are independent of one another. Suppose this player gets to shoot four free throws. Find the probability that he makes four consecutive free throws.
