Question

Abolish evening exams? Suppose that 84% of a university's students favor abolishing evening exams. You ask 10 students chosen at random. What is the likelihood that all 10 favor abolishing evening exams? (a) Describe how you would pose this question to 10 students independently of each other. How would you model the procedure? (b) Assign digits to represent the answers "Yes" and "No." (c) simulate 5 repetitions, starting at line 129 of. Then combine your results with those of the rest of your class. What is your estimate of the likelihood of the desired result? Shooting free throws A basketball player makes 70% of her free throws in a long season. In a tournament game she shoots 5 free throws late in the game and misses 3 of them. The fans think she was nervous, but the misses may simply be chance. You will shed some light by estimating a probability. (a) Describe how to simulate a single shot if the probability of making each shot is 0.7. Then describe how to simulate 5 independent shots. (b) Simulate 50 repetitions of the 5 shots and record the number missed on each repetition. Use starting at line 125. What is the approximate likelihood that the player will miss 3 or more of the 5 shots?

(a) Describe how you would pose this question to 10 students independently of each other how would you model the procedure

Ans: I would collect a list ofa lla the university students id numbers .Then i would use a random number generator to select 10 id numbers and i would interview those 10 students

(b) Assign digits to represent the answer "Yes" and "No"
Ans:I would let 0-7 represents Yes
             and 8-9 will represent No
