Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of making one shot is 75% or 0.75 or 3/4.

the probability to make 2 shots is then

3/4 × 3/4 = 9/16 = 0.5625

and so on.

the probability to miss 1 shot is then 25% or 0.25 or 1/4.

the probability to make at least 4 out of 5 shots is the sum of the probability to make all 5 shots plus the probability to make 4 shots.

or the probability to miss 0 plus the probability to miss 1 shot.

anyway, we can go with the positive approach. it seems to be the same complexity as the negative approach.

the probability to make all 5 shots is

(3/4)⁵ = 3⁵/4⁵ = 243 / 1024 = 0.237304688...

the probability to e.g make the first 4 shots and miss the 5th is

(3/4)⁴×1/4 = 3⁴/4⁵ = 81 / 1024 = 0.079101563...

how many possibilities do we have to make 4 out of 5 shots ?

there is no repetition, and the sequence inside the "picked" 4 does not matter, so we need combinations :

C(5,4) = 5! / (4! × (5-4)!) = 5

so, the probability to make exactly 4 out 5 shots is

81/1024 × 5 = 405/1024 = 0.395507813...

and the total probability to make at least 4 shots is

243/1024 + 405/1024 = 648/1024 = 81/128 = 0.6328125

to control,

this plus making exactly 3 plus exactly 2 plus exactly 1 plus none must be the probability 1 (as there is no other possible outcome).

making 3 :

(3/4)³×(1/4)² = 3³/4⁵ = 27/1024

C(5,3) = 5×2 = 10

270/1024

making 2 :

3²/4⁵ = 9/1024

C(5,2) = 5×2 = 10

90/1024

making 1 :

3/1024

C(5,1) = 5

15/1024

making 0 :

1/1024

in sum

(270+90+15+1)/1024 = 376/1024

plus the 648/1024 = 1024/1024 = 1

correct.

A student solved the following problem and made an error:
liubo4ka [24]

All the steps were correct except the final statement. The mistake was in Line 6.

Line 6 triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EFD by SAS.

<span>This does not follow. The SAS postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle is congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle. The student only proved that one side of the triangle (AC) is congruent to the side of another triangle (EF) .</span>
