5.9(Solution)

P(X > 4) = (1 - p) ^ 4 = 0.75 ^ 4 = 0.31640625

The probability that X > 4 is about 31.64%
Since 4 is a small number, you can verify the probability by:
P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X=1) - P(X=2) - P(X=3) - P(X=4)
Where:
P(X=k) = p * (1 - p) ^ (k-1)
P(X=1) = 0.25 * (1 - 0.25) ^ (1-1) = 0.25
P(X=2) = 0.25 * (1 - 0.25) ^ (2-1) = 0.1875
P(X=3) = 0.25 * (1 - 0.25) ^ (3-1) = 0.140625
P(X=4) = 0.25 * (1 - 0.25) ^ (4-1) = 0.10546875
So P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.25 - 0.1875 - 0.140625 - 0.10546875 = 0.31640625
The results match, so it's correct.
