To state: The simulation that can be used to find the average number of field goals he will make if he has 3 attempts of less than 30 yards in a game. The football team’s field goal kicker has made 16 out of 20 field goal attempts from less than 30 yards so far this season. The experimental probability that the kicker will make his next field goal is 80 percent.
Perform this simulation at least 20 or 30 times and find the average number of goals made.
Given information:
The football team’s field goal kicker has made 16 out of 20 field goal attempts from less than 30 yards so far this season. The experimental probability that the kicker will make his next field goal is 80 percent.
Explanation:
A graphing calculator’s random number generator can imitate the given experiment.
Create a random integer between 1 and 5. Let the numbers 1 through 4 indicate successful field goals, while the number 5 indicates a miss.
Press MATH key, then arrow over to PRB to start the random number generator. Then down and select number 5.
Now type 1 for the starting number, 5 for the ending number, and 3 for the group before pressing the ENTER key:
Find the typical amount of goals scored by running this simulation 20 or 30 times.
