Critical Thinking: Simulation We can use the random-number table to simulate outcomes from a given discrete
(a) Do 70% of the possible digits 0 through 9 represent “making a basket”?
(b) Start at line 2, column I of the random-number table. Going across the row, determine the results of 10 “trials.” How many free-throw shots are successful in this simulation?
(c) Your friend decides to assign the digits 0 through 2 to “missing the shot” and the digits 3 through 9 to “making the basket.” Is this assignment valid? Explain. Using this assignment, repeat part (b).
