Rachel's free throw average for basketball is 60%. She wants to predict how many times in the next 50 tries she will make a free throw. Describe how she could use 10 index cards to predict the answer. Please help me.

If she shot her average she would make 30 out of 50 shots (AKA 60%)
She could use the index cards to record each shot, recording 5 results on each one of the 10 cards


I understand this answer is really late for you but I hope you can still use it or someone else can use it if they have the same assignment

Answer:

Recording how many shots she makes and how may she misses in those 50 tries.

Explanation:

If Rachel has a 60% average free throw, she will make 30 out of the 50 attempts she will do.

In this case the only thing that you have to do will be:

100%- 50

60%-x

x=
((50*100))/(60)

This will equal 30.
