A basketball player sinks 50% of the 1500 shots he takes at the basket over a season. In the next season, he sinks 48% of the 1260 shots at basket. What is the probability that the performance in season 2 is better than that in season 1?

We have to find P( p2>p1) = P( p2-p1)>0

P= P( z=((p2-p1)/se >0) = P( z >-1.047)

P=0.8524
