Over the course of his career, his overall made free-throw percentaqe was 53.3%. Durinq one off-season, Shaq had been working with an assistant coach on his free-throw technique. During the next season, a simple random sample showed that Shag made 26 of 39 free-throw attempts. Test the claim that Shaq has significantly improved his free-throw shooting using a 0.05 significance level. . Check the conditions of the Central Limit Theorem for this scenario.
