Question

In your last 23 basketball games, you attempted 101 free throws and made 66. Find the experimental probability that you make a free throw. Write the probability as a percent, to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Experimental probability is the chance an event has to occur. It is derived from the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials. You can use the following formula to calculate it. P = (o/t) * 100%, where o is the number of times the event occurred, and t is the total amount of trials ran. In this case, P = (66/101) * 100, which evaluates to P = 65.3% (after rounding)
Answer: 65.3%

Answer 2

Answer: 65.3%

Explanation:

Given : In your last 23 basketball games, you attempted 101 free throws and made 66.

i.e. Total attempts = 101

Number of made = 66

Now , the experimental probability that you make a free throw is given by :-

`\frac{\text{Number of made}}{\text{Total attempts}}\\\\=(66)/(101)`

In percent ,
`(66)/(101)*100=65.3465346535\approx65.3\%`
