The probability of a basketballplayer scoring at least 1 goal in 6 shots is 0,999936

a) What is the probability function of X
b) What is the probability for scoring (propability function for number of goals)
c) What is the probability for scoring at least 3 times

This is as far as I get:
Probability of scoring 0 goals= 1-0,999936=0,000064

any clue?

If 4 different balls are placed randomly in 3 different boxes, what is the probability that non of the boxes are empty. Assume there is enough room in each box for 4 balls???

Anybody got a clue?
