Question

The probability of Jaden making a free throw is 15%. Predict the number of free throws that he can expect to make if he attempts 40 free throws.

Answer 1

6 divided by 40 is 15 percent so the answer is 6

Answer 2

We have been given that the probability of Jaden making a free throw is 15%.

Now, we have to predict the number of free throws that he can expect to make if he attempts 40 free throws.

In order to find the total number of free throws, we will find 15% of 40.

Therefore, the number of free throws should be

`15\%  \text{ of  }40\\ \\ =(15* 40)/(100) \\ \\ =(600)/(100) \\ \\ =6`

Therefore, the number of free throws that he can expect to make if he attempts 40 free throws is 6.
