Question

Brian completed 34 free throws and missed 16.

Using experimental probability, how many free throws is he predicted to complete in the next 100 tries?



68

36

46

60

Answer 1

it is 46 if you divide 34 by 16 you get 2.125 then divide 100 by 2.125 and you get 47.05 the 0 means go down if you are rounding which brings it to 46

Answer 2

the answer is 68

think about it. first add 34 plus 16. = 50.

Therefore for every fifty he throws, he will complete 34, and he will lose 16.

Now add this logic to 100. 34 + 34 = 68. (because 100/2 is 50. for every 50 it will represent 34.) If you want to extend the problem you could also answer for how many he will lose.

16 + 16 = 32.

(50 + 50 = 100) again for every 50 he will lose 16.

hope this helps.
