Probability question

Does anybody know how to do this type of question?

Assume that a basketball player makes 67% of her free throws from the
foul line, and assume that this percentage will hold true for future
attempts. Find the probability that in her next 4 tries, she will make
exactly 3 field goals.

Thanks!
