Shaquille O\'Neal is a player that had the reputation of being a poor free throw shooter. Use the information that his success ratio is.528 (free throws made/ free throws attempted). Conduct a simulations experiment to determine the empirical probability that Shaq would make all five free throws that he might be awarded in a game. Describe how you chose to conduct this simulations experiment. Provide evidence of your results and a sentence that summarizes your group\'s results. On the basis of your results, would it be unusual for Shaq to have made all five free throws that he might be awarded in a game.

Solution

Simulation can be conducted using excel.

The success rate is 0.528

Using the RAND() function it needs to be generated

=RANDBETWEEN(1,5)

The data can be entered in 1000 columns and then the probabaility is calculated.
