Coin Tossing

Your favorite NBA basketball player makes “90 % of his free throws” and his goal is to make at least 50 free throws in a row during the season. It is not unusual for some of the best players to have more than 300 free throw attempts in a single season. Do you think a goal of “50 in a row” is reasonable?

Run the Coin Tossing with the probability of heads set at .90 and the longest run of heads set at 50 and see how many attempts are necessary. Repeat this experiment several times to get an idea of how likely the event "50 in a row" will occur during an entire NBA season.
