A goalkeeper catches 30% of all penalty kicks against her team. \ \ \ \ a. What is the probability that out of 5 penalty kicks she catches 2? \ \ \ \ b. What is the probability that out of 5 penalty kicks she catches 2 or more.
\\
A goalkeeper catches 30% of all penalty kicks.
\Find the probability that out of 5 penalty kicks she catches 2.
\Let
be the event that the goalkeeper catches 2 out of 5 penalty kicks. \ \
Success rate of goalkeeper is 30% = 0.30.
\The probability for k successes is
.
Where n is number of samples(trails),
\p is probability of success,
\q is probability of failure.
\Probability that out of 5 penalty kicks she catches 2 is
.

Probability that out of 5 penalty kicks she catches 2 is 0.3087.
\\
\
\
(b)
\Success rate of goalkeeper is 30% = 0.30.
\Find the probability that out of 5 penalty kicks she catches 2 or more.
\Let
be the event that the goalkeeper catches 2 or more out of 5 penalty kicks. \ \
The probability for k successes is
.
Where n is number of samples(trails),
\p is probability of success,
\q is probability of failure.
\Probability that out of 5 penalty kicks she catches 2 or more is
.
Property of probability:
.
Hence
.


Probability that out of 5 penalty kicks she catches 2 or more is 0.47.
