Really can't think to save my life right now..help?
1) A basketball player makes 75% of her free-throw attempts. Suppose she attempts 20 free-throws. Could you use a coin to simulate the attempted shots in the game? Use mathematics to justify.
2) Could you use a 6 sided dice to simulate the shots? Use mathematics to justify.
Again, very simple. Helps appreciated.

If you used heads as the free throw proportion, you could use a coin if and only if you counted every other tails as a head. This way 3/4 of the coin tosses will count as free throws.
For dice, if you counted 1-4 as the proportion, counting 5 as part of the porpotion every other time is was rolled, it would simulate it since 4.5/6 = 3/4.
