b. Why might your human inference regarding the cocaine problem among children be misled by the headline on the article? How might you revise it? 2. Was Kobe Streaking? Kobe Bryant's field goal shots for the first game of the 2001 Western Conference finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs are as follows: OOOXXXXXXXOOXOO XXOXOOXXOXXOOOXOXOXXO (0 = missed shot, X = hit shot) The announcer's first-half comment included sentiments such as "What an awful start" after Bryant missed three in a row, "The basket is looking mighty big right now" after he hit five in a row, and "This is an unstoppable run" after he hit the seventh in a row (and coincidentally, right before the run did, in fact, stop). a. Looking at Kobe's first game field goals, do you think one can argue he got a "hot hand" starting on his fourth field goal attempt and first basket? Why or why not? b. For our purposes, define a "run" as two or more shots that turned out the same way. That is, two or more hits in a row, or two or more misses in a row, can be considered a run. How many runs were there in Kobe's first game per the results above? Statisticians often use the number of runs (defined a little differently than we have here) to formally assess randomness
