Question

To simulate whether a shot hits or misses, you would assign random digits as follows:

(a) One digit simulates one shot; $4$and $7$are a hit; other digits are a miss.

(b) One digit simulates one shot; odd digits are a hit and even digits are a miss.

(c) Two digits simulate one shot; $00$to $47$are a hit and $48$to $99$are a miss.

(d) Two digits simulate one shot; $00$to $46$are a hit and $47$to $99$are a miss.

(e) Two digits simulate one shot; $00$to $45$are a hit and $46$to $99$are a miss.

Short answer

Two numerals represent one shot; $00$to $46$represents a hit, $47$and $99$represents a miss.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given Information     

For the number of makes in $10$shot attempts, we choose the following simulation:

Step 2. Concept Used 

We can't foresee the outcomes of a chance process, yet they have a regular distribution over a large number of repetitions. According to the law of large numbers, the fraction of times a specific event occurs in numerous repetitions approaches a single number. The likelihood of a chance outcome is its long-run relative frequency. A probability is a number between $0$(never happens) and $1$(happens frequently) (always occurs).

Step 3. Explanation

During the season, a basketball player makes $47$percent of her shots from the field. The probability of a player making a $47$percent chance. That means out of $100$, there should be $47$double digit numbers. As a result, two numerals represent one shot; 00 to 46 indicate a hit, whereas $47$to $99$indicate a miss. As a result, option d) is the proper choice.
