We wish to calculate the probability that all 5 attempts result in a goal. Explain how you would choose random digits to simulate this scenario.

Answer to Question 1

Generate random numbers between 1 and 5 . Digits 1 to 4 will represent a goal and the 5 will represent a miss. Each repetition will consist of 5 values. Anytime we see a sequence without a 5, all attempts result in a goal.

Answer to Question 2

C
