Shaqs free throws. The basketball player Shaquille ONeal makes about half ofhis free throws over an entire season. Use the Probability applet or software tosimulate 100 free throws shot by a player who has probability 0.5 of making eachshot. (In most software, the key phrase to look for is Bernoulli trials. This is thetechnical term for independent trials with Yes/No outcomes. Our outcomes hereare Hit and Miss.)(a) What percent of the 100 shots did he hit?(b) Examine the sequence of hits and misses. How long was the longest run ofshots made? Of shots missed? (Sequences of random outcomes often show runslonger than our intuition thinks likely.)
