If Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat hits 52 out of his fi rst 100 fi eld goals in the 20132014 season, let’s see how we might investigate if he is more likely than not to make a field goal?
a. Based on these first 100 field goals, we want to find out what Dwyane’s long-run proportion of making a field goal is. Will this value be a statistic or a parameter?
b. Is 52 out of 100 a statistic or a parameter?
c. We can use the One Proportion applet to generate 1,000 possible values of Dwyane’s last 100 field goals under the chance model that he has a long-run proportion of 50% of making a field goal. Match the aspects of the simulation in Column A to their equivalent aspects in the actual study listed in Column B.

Column A............................................................................................... Column B
Coin flip....................................................................................... Dwyane misses his field goal
Heads....................................................................................... Long-run proportion of field goals
Dwyane.................................................................................................................... makes
Tails..................................................................................................... One set of 100 field goal shots by Dwyane
Chance of heads.................................................................................. Dwyane shoots a field goal
One repetition....................................................................................... Dwyane makes his field goal
