Please, help!!! 1. For this assessment, explicitly state the five steps of a simulation and carry out the

simulation. Use the random digit table.
A basketball player makes 80% of her free throws. Recently during a very close game, she shot 5 free throws near the end of the game and missed 3 of them. The fans booed. What is the probability of her missing 3 (or more) free throws out of 5? Set up and conduct a simulation (using the random digits below) with 10 repetitions.

assign the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 to success... this is 8 out of a possible 10... or 80%
state your starting point in the table of random numbers say row 3 column 2 and then given the direction down the column.. or across the row then record the digits in groups of 5 to simulate the 5 free throws... like get 20 groups of 5
next tally the successes for each group of 5... then write a conclusion based on your results and compare it to what actually happened... so how many times shot 5 of 5 4 of 5 3 of 5 2 of 5 1 of 5 0 of 5
