The probability of making 5 or more free throws can be calculated using the binomial distribution. The probability of making exactly 5 free throws is 0.3632, and the probability of making exactly 6 free throws is 0.0511. Therefore, the probability of making 5 or more free throws is 0.3632 + 0.0511 = 0.4143.
