You can use the random number table to simulate outcomes from a given discrete probability distribution. Jose plays basketball and has probability 0.2 of making a free- throw shot. Let x be the random variable that counts the number of successful shots out of 10 attempts. Consider the digits 0 through 9 of the random number table. Since Jose has a 20% chance of making a shot, assign the digits 0 through 1 to "making a basket from the free-throw line" and the digits 2 through 9 to "missing the shot." Do 20% of possible digits 0 through 9 represent "making a basket"? O no yes
