Problem 5 The probability that a basketball player makes a free throw is p= 0.7. The player's free throw's are modeled as a sequence of Bernoulli trials. The player earns $1 for a making a free throw and loses $1 otherwise. (a) If the player's net gain is modeled as the random walk process associated with the Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that the player has a net gain of $2 or more at the end of the 4th trial? (b) What is the player's expected net gain at the end of the 16th trial?
