At an amusement park basketball game, you earn a large prize for making 3 baskets, a medium prize for making 2 baskets, a small prize for making 1 basket, and no prize for making 0 baskets. You have a 40% chance of making the basket each time. What is the probability that you will earn a large prize? If 250 people have the same chance as winning as you, how many large prizes are expected to be won? What is the probability that you will earn a medium prize? If 250 people have the same chance as winning as you, how many medium prizes are expected to be won?
