Question

A basketball player makes 80% of her free throws. The random numbers below represent 20 trials for

Answer 1

Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

• The numbers 0 to 7 represent a made free throw
• The numbers 8 to 9 represent a missed  free throw.

Given the simulation data

(8,2) (9,3) (4,0) (5,8) (2,7) (2,0) (5,4) (8,0) (0,4) (9.1)

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

• A pair that contains only numbers between 0 and 7 shows the player makes both throws.

These pairs are:

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

There are a total of 12 cases where the player makes both throws.

Therefore:

P(Player makes both throws)=12/20=0.6
