Stephen (Steph) Curry, an American NBA player on the Golden
State Warriors, led the 2018 NBA salaries with the largest payroll
for the NBA. A fan looks up the salaries for all of the players on
the 2018 Golden State Warriors basketball team. Because the fan
took a statistics course, the fan uses all of these salaries to get
a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean salary for all 2018
Golden State Warriors basketball players. This makes no sense. Why
not? (1 pts)

During the 2015–16 NBA season, Stephen Curry of the Golden State
Warriors had a free throw shooting percentage of 0.908. Assume that
the probability Stephen Curry makes any given free throw is fixed
at 0.908, and that free throws are independent.
(a) If Stephen Curry shoots two free throws, what is the
probability that he makes both of them?
(b) If Stephen Curry shoots two free throws, what is the
probability that he misses both of them?
(c) If Stephen...
During the 2014-2015 NBA season, Stephen Curry of the Golden
State Warriors attempted 646 three-point baskets and made 286. He
also attempted 1,341 two-point baskets, making 653
of these. Use these counts to determine the probabilities for
the following questions.
(a) Let the random variable X denote the result of a two- point
attempt. X is either 0 or 2, depending on whether the basket is
made. Find the expected value and variance of
X
b) Let a second random...
Suppose that the Raptors have an approximate 45% chance of
winning against the Golden State Warriors (San Francisco’s
basketball team) in any one game, and that the outcomes of each
game are independent of others. In the NBA finals, the first team
to win four out of seven games will win the championships. Once
four games are won, the championships are over and any remaining
games will not be played.
Find the probability that the Raptors win the NBA finals...
The Golden State Warriors famously broke the NBA’s single season
wins record with 73 wins and 9 losses.Treat these games as a random
sample. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to test
whether or not their true winning percentage was greater than .695
at α = 0.05 (you may do a 1-sided test).
