Aidan is a goalie for his school’s hockey team. He normally stops 87% of the shots that come his way. In one particularly bad game, he let five of the 15 shots into the goal. He decides to cheer himself up by convincing himself that this game would be unusual for a goalie who stops 87% of the shots. He uses the table of random digits below using the rule that he will read across the row, two digits at a time, with 01–87 indicating a stop and 88–99 and 00 indicating a goal, until 15 attempts are recorded. 61373 70629 96541 81508 28214 06485 Which of the following statements about this random number table best describes the simulation?
