Question

Suppose a basketball player typically makes one-third of his foul shots. Which simulation could be used to generate frequencies and determine the probability that the player will make his next two foul shots?

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Roll two fair dice, when a 1 or 2 is rolled for both dice simultaneously it is recorded as both foul shots being made. This process is repeated for 50 trials.

The probability of a 1 or 2 from a roll of a die is

2

6

or

1

3

which equals the probability of the player making a single foul shot. Therefore, the compound event of two foul shots being made is equal to a 1 or 2 being rolled on both dice simultaneously, (
