Shamir loves watching professional basketball. His favorite player, Freddy Rocket, successfully completes 85% of his free throws. During one game, Rocket misses his first four free throws. Shamir says that the next free throw has to be a success since Rocket rarely misses so many in a row. Is Shamir’s reasoning correct?

Yes, Rocket missed the first four free throws, so the fifth one is due to be a success.
No, the probability of Rocket making a free throw is 0.85 over the long run.
Yes, Rocket has a high probability of making free throws, so the next one must go in the basket.
No, it is very unlikely for Rocket to miss so many free throws in a row, so Shamir should expect the player to continue missing baskets.

Me on this one i will give you 20pts. answer should be in detail . this is the discussion topic. one of the most fiercely debated topics in sports is the hot hand theory. the hot hand theory says that success breeds success. in other words, rather than each shot a basketball player takes or each at-bat a baseball player has being an independent event, the outcome of one event affects the next event. that is, a player can get hot and make a lot of shots in a row or get a lot of hits in a row. the hot hand theory, however, has been shown to be false in numerous academic studies. read this article, which discusses the hot hand theory as it relates to a professional basketball player. state whether you agree or disagree with the hot hand theory, and give reasons for your opinion. be sure to use some of the terms you’ve learned in this unit, such as independent event, dependent event, and conditional probability, in your answer.
