For this assignment, explicitly state the 5 steps of a simulation and carry out the simulation. For the first problem, use the random digit table.

A basketball player makes 80% of her free throws. Recently during a very close game, she shot 5 free throws near the end of the game and missed 3 of them. The fans booed. What is the probability of her missing 3 (or more) free throws out of 5? Set up and conduct a simulation (using the random digits below) with 10 repetitions.

I have the first two steps, but I do not know how to continue from there.

wow, that's is a big number XD

Steps to a Simulation
1.	State the problem or question.
2.	State the assumptions.
3.	Assign digits to represent outcomes.
4.	Simulate many repetitions.
5.	State conclusions.

i say, let them boo. Save energy and time XD

So far:

1. What is the probability of her missing 3 (or more) free throws out of 5?
2. A basketball player makes 80% of her free throws.
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?

Is there anyone who can help? I really need to finish this.

campbell_st · Answer

so you assign the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 to success... 

this is 8 out of a possible 10... or 80%

campbell_st · Answer

start you starting point in the table of random numbers say row 3 column 2 and then given the direction down the column.. or across the row

then record the digits in groups of 5 to simulate the 5 free throws... 

perhaps get 20 groups of 5

campbell_st · Answer

next tally the successes for each group of 5... then write a conclusion based on your results and compare it to what actually happened... 

so how many times shot 5 of 5
                                     4 of 5
                                     3 of 5
                                     2 of 5
                                      1 of 5
                                      0 of 5

hope it helps

campbell_st · Answer

oops should read... state your starting point

anonymous · Answer

Okay, thank you! That helped!

campbell_st · Answer

you may need to increase the number of groups of 5 you take... for a valid simulation... 

its ages since I've look at this stuff..
