The random numbers below represent 15 trials of a basketball simulation conducted using a spinner numbered 0–8. 76645, 46757, 28334, 81357, 52453, 21761, 51537, 62385, 62135, 16687, 41662, 27135, 45445, 33858, 86427 Let the number 1 represent a 3-point basket and the numbers 2–8 represent 2-point baskets. Based on the simulation, what is the probability that at least one of the next 5 baskets made by the team is a 3-pointer? A. 6/15 B. 8/15 C. 5/15 D. 7/15

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

Out of the 15 simulations, the number with a 1 in them is 7. (are the sets of 5 shots that have at least one 3-pointer)

So out of 15 sets, 7 of them have at least one 3-point in them.

the experimental probability is p = 7/15.

So the correct option is D.
