A basketball player is shooting free throws blindfolded. He shoots in groups of 4 shots. Assume that it is equally likely that he will hit or miss a shot. Design and do a simulation to determine the probability that he will hit at least 75% of his shots within the groups. (Hint: Use coins.)

Answer :

Let H represent hit and M represent miss, Then sample space

MMMM, MMMH, MMHM, MHMM, HMMM, MMHH, MHMH, HMMH, MHHM, HMHM, HHMM, MHHH, HMHH, HHMH, HHHM, HHHH

He hit at least 75% in 5 occasions.

Therefore, P(hit at least 75%) = 5/16
