Question

A soccer player boasts that he is able to kick a ball past 100 yards on 5 consecutive tries. You know that he's usually able to kick that distance 20% of
the time. You create a model of how he kicks and run a simulation based on it, using (0 - 1) to represent his successes at kicking past 100 yards.

56421 88976 54893 20015 46504 98746 13210 77410

How many consecutive kicks past yards does the model show for the player?
A. 3 B. 2 C. 0 D. 1

Answer 1

Let 0-1 be successes and 2-9 be failures. Using the simulation, we get:

5642188976548932[001]546504987461321077410

The most consecutive kicks he gets past one hundred yards is A. three.
