Web-based exercise. Information about basketball players can be found at www.basketball-reference.com. Go to this Web site and find the percentage of three-point shots that Steve Nash has made in his career.

(Nash is among the career leaders in percentage of three-point shots made.) On average, how many three-point shots must he take in a game before he makes his first shot? In other words, we want the expected number of shots he takes before he makes his first. Estimate this by using 10 simulations of sequences of three-point shots, stopping when he makes his first. What is your estimate of the expected value?
