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.
