Question

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.

To simulate the number of makes in $10$shot attempts, you would perform the simulation as follows:

a. Use $10$ random one-digit numbers, where $0-4$are a make and $5-9$are a miss.

b. Use $10$random two-digit numbers, where $00-46$are a make and $47-99$are a miss.

c. Use $10$random two-digit numbers, where $00-47$are a make and $48-99$are a miss.

d. Use $47$random one-digit numbers, where $0$is a make and $1-9$are a miss.

e. Use $47$random two-digit numbers, where $00-46$are a make and $47-99$are a miss.

Short answer

The correct answer is option (b) Use $10$random two-digit numbers, where $00-46$are a make and $47-99$are a miss.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

We have been given a basketball player claims to make $47\%$of her shots from the field.

Explanation

Since in option (b)$00-46$are a make, i.e, $47$out of $100$are a make, resulting in a probability of $47\%$

So, option (b) Use $10$random two-digit numbers, where $00-46$are a make and $47-99$are a miss.
