Mathematics Homework Help

one of the questions:

1)

A basketball player attempts 24

shots from the field during a game. This player generally hits about

25%

of these shots.

(a) In order to use a binomial model for the number of made baskets, what assumptions are needed in this example? Are they reasonable?

(b) How many baskets should you expect this player to make in the game?

(c) If the player hits more than 11 shots (12, 13, 14, … or 24),

should you be surprised?

(d) How many points should you expect the player to score if all of these are 3-point

shots?

(e) If this player randomly takes half of the shots from 3-point range and half from 2-point range and makes both with 25%

chance, how many points should you expect the player to score?
