them.
To see how likely a sample like this was to happen by random chance alone, the class performed a
simulation. They simulated 100 samples of n = 40 free-throws, where each free-throw had an 80%
chance of being made. They recorded the proportion of free-throws made in each sample. Here are the
sample proportions from their 100 samples
