The problem involves a soccer player who is able to kick a ball past 100 yards with a success rate of 30%. You created a model based on this and ran a simulation represented by the sequence of zeros (failure) and ones (success) given in the problem. The sequence is:

`54241 08676 54865 92011 44504 58746 12010 77510`

It appears that the sequence should actually be a binary sequence of 0s and 1s, where `0` indicates a failure to kick past 100 yards and `1` indicates success. So we need to interpret this sequence as successes and failures.

However, it seems like this sequence of digits might have been grouped incorrectly or truncated, so let's look for the segment of the sequence that represents the kicks:

- If you look at this part of the sequence: `92011`, it corresponds to "0011", where "11" represents 2 consecutive successful kicks.

Therefore, the number of consecutive kicks past 100 yards that the model predicts for the player is **2**, which corresponds to option **B**.

1. How does probability affect the likelihood of consecutive events?
2. What is a Bernoulli trial, and how does it relate to this problem?
3. How can simulations be used to estimate real-world probabilities?
4. How might the player's success rate change with more training?
5. What is the difference between empirical and theoretical probability?

**Tip:** Always verify the assumptions and interpretations when working with sequences in probability problems, especially when converting real-world scenarios into simulations.

A soccer player boasts that he is able to kick a ball past 100 yards on 5 consecutive tries. You know that he's usually able to kick that distance 30% of the time. You create a model of how he kicks and run a simulation based on it, using {0-1} to represent five successes at kicking past 100 yards.
