TWO SAMPLE PROPORTION z
Amos Tversky and Thomas Gilovich in their study on the “Hot Hand” in basketball found that in a random sample of games, Larry Bird hit a second free throw on 48 of 53 attempts after the first free throw was missed, and hit a second free thrown in 251 of 285 attempts after the first free throw was made. Is there sufficient evidence to say that the probability that Bird will make a second free throw is different depending on whether or not he made the first throw?
