19.17 Elena’s free throws. Elena Delle Donne of the WNBA Chicago Sky makes 94% of her free throws. In an important game, she shoots a pair of free throws shots late in the game and misses both. The fans think she was nervous, but the misses may simply be chance. Let’s shed some light by estimating a probability.
(a) Describe how to simulate a single free throw if the probability of making each free throw is 0.94. Then describe how to simulate two independent free throws.
(b) Simulate 50 repetitions of the two free throws and record the number missed on each repetition. Use Table A, starting at line 125. What is the approximate probability that Elena will miss both free throws?
