2.5-3. Suppose that a basketball player different from the
ones in Example 2.5-2 and in Exercise 2.5-1 can make a
free throw 60% of the time. Let X equal the minimum
number of free throws that this player must attempt to
make a total of 10 shots.
(a) Give the mean, variance, and standard deviation of X.
(b) Find P(X = 16).
