Question

There is a 25% chance that Dane will make a three-point shot during a basketball game. A random-number generator generated 10 sets of random numbers from 1 to 4. The number 3 represents Dane's making a three-point shot. Look at the table.​

Answer 1

the 25% chance is wrong, it is actually 20%

Explanation:

Based on the table of trials shown in the picture, it seems that the 25% chance is wrong. In the table, there are 10 trials and each one has 5 numbers generated, meaning there are a total of 50 numbers generated. Out of these 50 numbers, only 10 are the number 3. Since 3 is the only number that represents a three-point shot, that would make it a 20% (10 / 50) chance that Dane makes a three-point shot in a basketball game.
