This is a statistic problem with possion distribution.

This is a statistic problem with possion distribution. The number of three-point

The number of three-point attempts for a basketball player during a game follows a Poisson distribution with an average rate of 3 per game. For each three-point shot that she attempts, the basketball player has a probability of 0.5 that the three-point shot is made. Assume that each shot is independent of each other. You want to simulate the basketball player's performance for made three-point shots for a single game. You generate two uniform random numbers: 0.95 and 0.8. With those uniform numbers, how many three-point baskets does she make according to the simulation? Enter an integer. Hint: Use Excel to heip you with calculations, e.g., POISSONDIST Note: There are two valid ways to simulate this problem. One way will only use the rst uniform number. and the other way will use both uniform numbers
