In basketball, a player gets two foul shots when fouled. In a random sample of games over Larry Bird's long NBA career, he hit the second foul shot in 48 of 53 attempts after the first was missed and hit the second foul shot 231 of 285 times after the first shot was made. Is there sufficient evidence to say that the probability that Bird made the second free throw is different depending on whether he made the first free throw or missed it? Also construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between his free throw shooting. Just fill in appropriate formulas.
