A)You can flip a coin 12 times.Heads mean a successful foul shot, tails mean the player missed the foul shot.

B)You can roll a 6-sided dice 12 times.rolling a number less than 5 means a successful foul shot, and rolling a number greater than or equal to means the player missed the foul shot.

C)You can draw marbles 12 times from a bag with 10 red marbles and 4 black marbles.Drawing a red marble means a successful foul shot and drawing a black marble means the player missed the foul shot.

D)You can draw straws 12 times with 12 long straws an 4 short straws. Drawing a long straw means a successful foul shot and drawing a short straw means the player missed the foul shot.
