a binomial distribution will be approximately correct as a model for one of these two sports settings and for the other. explain why by briefly discussing both settings.

Question

a)a national football league kicker has made 80% of his field goal attempts in the past. this season he attempts 20 field goals.the attempts differ widely in distance angle wind an so on..

b) a basketball player has made 80% of his free throws in the past. this season he takes 150 free throws. free throws are attempted from 15 feet away with no interference.

Answer 1

There are only two possible scenarios with binomial distribution problems. In other words, something did or did not take place. Consider the other factors in both problems to determine the best bet for a binomial distribution.

I hope this will help.
