A basketball player claims to make 47 of her shots from the


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.

Suppose this player attempts 10 shots in a game and only makes 3 of them. Does this provide convincing evidence that she is less than a 47% shooter?

(a) Yes, because 3/10 (30%) is less than 47%.

(b) Yes, because she never made 47% of her shots in the simulation.

(c) No, because it is plausible that she would make 3 or fewer shots by chance alone.

(d) No, because the simulation was only repeated 25 times.

(e) No, because the distribution is approximately symmetric.
