Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of making at least 4 out of 5 shots, with each shot having a 70% chance of success, can be calculated using the binomial probability formula. The probability of making exactly 4 shots is $5 \times (0.7)^4 \times (0.3)^1$, and the probability of making all 5 shots is $(0.7)^5$. Adding these probabilities gives the total probability of making at least 4 shots, which is approximately 0.5282.
