Describe how to simulate a single shot if the probability


Question: Tonya's free throws. Tonya makes 80% of her free throws in a long season. In a tournament game she shoots 5 free throws late in the game and misses 3 of them. The fans think she was nervous, but the misses may simply be chance. Let's shed some light by estimating a probability

(a) Describe how to simulate a single shot if the probability of making each shot is 0.8. Then describe how to simulate 5 independent shots.

(b) Simulate 50 repetitions of the 5 shots and record the number missed on each repetition. Use Table A, starting at line 125. What is the approximate probability that Tonya will miss 3 or more of the 5 shots?
