25. Free-throw percentage. A basketball player's free-throw percentage is 78%, meaning that for any given attempt, the probability that the shot is made is p = 0.78. Assume that each free-throw attempt is independent of the others. In one game, a player attempts 4 free throws. Let random variable X = the number of free throws the player makes. a) Find the probability mass function f(x) = P(X = x), and sketch its histogram.
