If Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors hits 52 out of his first 100 field goals in the 2018/2019 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 Kevin’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 Kevin’s last 100 field goals under the chance model that he has a long-run proportion of 0.50 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.
