Law of Large Numbers A certain professional basket-ball player typically makes 80% of his basket attempts, which is considered to be good. Suppose you go to several games at which this player plays.

On which of those nights is the player most likely to have a “bad” night, in which he makes much fewer than 80% of his baskets?
