Question

The goalie on the Iceblades hockey team saves (blocks) 73% of the opponent's shots. With 10 minutes to go, the Iceblades are ahead by one goal, and they will win if the other team does not score.

The other team takes 5 shots in the final 10 minutes. The Iceblades do not score any more goals.

The table shows pairs of random digits. The pairs in each group simulate the 5 shots taken by the opponent.


Answer the questions to estimate the probability that the Iceblades will win the game.
