One of the datasets available with the text is about the Golden State Warriors 2015-2016 Season – there is a total of 82 games in a NBA season. One of the variables is Free Throws Made. We will work with this variable to answer the following questions.
1. How accurately do the Warriors players make the free throws they attempt? Over the 82 games in the season, the Warriors made 1366 Free Throws out of the 1790 free throws they attempted. This gives us a (p-hat)=1366/1790 = 0.763. Find and interpret the 95% confidence interval for this data.
2. Is there evidence that the proportion of free throws successfully made by the Warriors players is different from the overall proportion for all NBA teams (assume p-p = 0.756 for the proportion for all NBA teams)? The proportion of successful free throws made by the Warriors players is in the problem above.
