The probability that Gerald makes a three-point shot in basketball is 20%. For practice, Gerald will regularly shoot a series of these shots until he succeeds at one. He's curious how many shots it will typically take him
to get his first successful shot.
He simulated 40 trials of three-point shots where each shot had a 0.2 probability of being successful, and
in each trial, he counted how many shots it took to get the first successful shot. Here are his results:
0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16
# of shots taken
Use his results to estimate the probability that it takes 10 or fewer shots to get his first successful shot.
Give your answer as either a fraction or a decimal.
P(10 or fewer shots) -

(remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.
