A professional basketball star who had a reputation for being a poor free throw shooter made 5236 of the 9751 free throws that he attempted, for a success ratio of 0.537. A simulation was developed to generate random numbers between 1 and 1000. An outcome of 1 through 537 was considered to be a free throw that is made, and an outcome of 538 through 1000 was considered to be a free throw that is missed. The list below shows the results for five generated numbers where 1 represents a free throw that was made and O represents a free throw that was missed. Complete parts (a) and (b).
