Binomial Distribution (Optional) · Try It 7
During the 2013 regular basketball season, a player had the highest field goal completion rate in the league. This player scored with 61.3 percent of his shots. Suppose you choose a random sample of 80 shots made by this player during the 2013 season. Let X = the number of shots that scored points.
(a) What is the probability distribution for X?
(b) Using the formulas, calculate the (i) mean and (ii) standard deviation of X.
(c) Use your calculator to find the probability that this player scored with 60 of these shots.
(d) Find the probability that this player scored with more than 50 of these shots.
