In an event a kick is done 5 times. The probability of that goalkeeper being able to fend off those penalty kicks 3 times is .... A. $\displaystyle \frac{180}{625}$ B. $\displaystyle \frac{612}{625}$ C. $\displaystyle \frac{216}{625}$ D. $\displaystyle \frac{228}{625}$ E. $\displaystyle \frac{230}{625}$ Can someone give me a hint?
