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 2

please what are the numbers:
56421 88976 54893 20015 46504 98746 13210 77410 ?

Answer 3

That is the simulation

Answer 4

for example:
56421 stands for 0.56421 ?

Answer 5

I think so

Answer 6

ok! wait a moment please...

Answer 7

I think that all you get is a sequence of 0's, and 1's
so your model show you two values, namely 0 and 1

Answer 8

so D.

Answer 9

Oh ok thanks

Answer 10

more explanation:
you have a random discrete variable.
do you agree?

Answer 11

if your simulation returns a number less or equal to 0.2 than you got 0,
whereas your simulation returns a numbergreater than 0.2, you got 1

Answer 12

oops.. then you got 0...
