Concept explainers
(a)
To explain how you would use each chance device to simulate one free throw by the player.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
To use each chance device to simulate one free throw by the player by a six sided die, we have,
First roll the six sided die.
If you roll a
If you roll a
If you roll a
Thus, we know that, if you roll a
(b)
To explain how you would use each chance device to simulate one free throw by the player.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
To use each chance device to simulate one free throw by the player by Table D of random digits, we have,
Pick a line of Table D of random digits.
Select the first two digit number.
If the number is between
If the number is between
Thus, we know that, if the number is between
(c)
To explain how you would use each chance device to simulate one free throw by the player.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
To use each chance device to simulate one free throw by the player by a standard deck of playing cards, we have,
The probability of making a free throw is
Since diamonds, spades, clubs and hearts are all equally likely, the following simulation is possible:
If you draw a diamond, hearth or spade from the deck of cards, then the basketball player makes the free throw.
If you draw a club from the deck of cards, then the basketball player fails to make the free throw.
Thus, we know that, if you draw a diamond, hearth or spade from the deck of cards, then the basketball player makes the free throw.
