Question

a basketball player claims to make 40% of the shots from the field. we want to simulate the player taking sets of 10 shots, assuming that the claim is true. 25 repetitions were performed. what is the approximate probability that the player males 5 or more shots in 10 attempt

Answer 1

well a simple thing to do is get a 10 sided dice

allocate the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, to gets a free throw

allocate 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 to missing the throw

roll the die 10 times, record the success of failure after each roll.

reading the question, you have to repeat the activity 25 times.


instead of a die, you can use a calculator that has a random integer generator

or a spreadsheet
