Question:

Refer to Exercise 7, which required a description of a simulated free throw by basketball player Shaquille O’Neal.

a. Repeat the simulation five times and record the number of times that the free throw was made. Is the percentage of successful free throws from the simulation reasonably close to the value of 0.528?

b. Repeat part (a) until it has been conducted a total of 10 times. Record the proportion of successful free throws in each case. Based on the results, would it be unusual for Shaquille O’Neal to make all of five free throws in a game?

Develop a simulation using a TI-83/84 Plus calculator, STATDISK, Minitab, Excel, or any other suitable calculator or computer software program.
