Mateo plays on his school basketball team. From past history, he knows that his probability of making a basket on a free throw is 0.8. Suppose he wants to create a simulation using random numbers to estimate the probability of making at least 3 baskets on his next 5 free throw attempts. Which of the following assignments of the digits 0 to 9 could be used for the simulation?

The correct simulation should be: Let the digit from 0 to 7 represent making a basket and the digits 8 and 9 represent not making a basket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the probability of making a basket on a free throw is 0.8.

It means Mateo basket 8 times out of 10 times.

Thus, the simulation process will also maintain this probability.

He use a simulation in which number 0 to 7 represents making a basket and the number 8 and 9 represents making no basket.

Because there are 8 number from 0 to 7.

Hence, the correct simulation should be: Let the digit from 0 to 7 represent making a basket and the digits 8 and 9 represent not making a basket.
