Suppose this player attempts 10 shots in a game and makes only 3 of them. Does this provide convincing evidence that she is less than a 47% shooter?

a. Yes, because 3/10 (30%) is less than 47%.

b. Yes, because she never made 47% of her shots in the simulation.

c. No, because it is plausible (believable) that she would make 3 or fewer shots by chance alone.

d. No, because the simulation was only repeated 25 times.

e. No, because more than half of the simulated results were less than 47%.

A basketball player claims to make 47% of her shots from the field. We want to simulate the player taking sets of 10 shots, assuming that her claim is true.
