Question 1194231: Rebecca is your school's star basketball player. When she takes a shot, she typically scores 75% of the time. Suppose she takes 20 shots in a game. Design a simulation to estimate the probability of the number of baskets Rebecca makes in a game.

It is a binomial distribution probability problem with the number of trials 
n=20  and individual success probability p=0.75.



Without writing long formulas, I refer to this source

https://www.sjsu.edu/people/saul.cohn/courses/stats/s0/BinomialProbabTable.pdf

which gives the tables of calculated probabilities for different values of n and p.



Find there the table for n=20  and  p=0.75.



It is what you ask for, in the form ready for consumption.

Solved.
