Is the proportion of successful free throws P from the simulation reasonably close to the value of 0.523​? ​(Hint: A proportion is said to be​ "reasonably close" if it is within the given success ratio ± the probability of a single​ event.)     No​, P is not reasonably close to the value of 0.523.   Yes​, P is reasonably close to the value of 0.523.

Question
Is the proportion of successful free throws P from the simulation reasonably close to the value of
0.523​?
​(Hint: A proportion is said to be​ "reasonably close" if it is within the given success ratio
±
the probability of a single​ event.)
 
 
No​,
P
is not
reasonably close to the value of
0.523.
 
Yes​,
P
is
reasonably close to the value of
0.523.
 
b. The simulation was conducted 10 times to generate five results​ R1, R2,​ R3, R4 and R5 each​ time, as shown in the table below. Determine the proportion of successful free throws P in each case.
