Question

A basketball player makes 70% of her free throws. The random numbers below represent 20 trials for a sinulation. Let the numbers 0 to 6 represent a made free throw. Use this simulation to estimate the probability that the player makes both free throws

Answer 1

70% of free throws

20 trials

0 to 6 = made free throw

7 to 9 = missed free throw

Given the data:

(3,8) (3,8) (2,1) (5,0) (6,4) (7,1) (6,6) (4,2) (4,7) (9,0) (8,0) (9,2) (2,9) (9,8) (2,7) (8,7) (8,9) (8,9) (9,3) (0,3)

Pais that Contains only numbers between 0 and 6 shows the player makes both throws.

Pairs = (2,1) (5,0) (6,4) (6,6,) (4,2) (0,3)

There are 6 pairs

6 / 20 = 0.3

Probability = 0.3
