Final answer:

To find the value of x when x represents less than half made, we need to determine the number of successful free throws made by Stephen Curry that is less than half of 6.

To find the value of x when x represents less than half made, we need to determine the number of successful free throws made by Stephen Curry that is less than half of 6. Since Stephen Curry has a career free throw success percentage of 90.56%, we can find the expected value of successful free throws made by multiplying this percentage by the total number of free throws attempted.
