Question

During the first several rounds of a golfing league, Nate made par or better on 34 out of 85 holes. Based on this relative frequency, how many pars or better could he be expected to make on the remaining 150 holes? Round to the nearest whole number if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer: 60 holes

Explanation:

Nate made par or better 34 out of 85 holes. You need to use this to find the rate at which he makes par or better holes:

= 34 / 85 * 100%

= 40%

40% of the time he makes par or better holes.

If there are 150 holes left, he will make par or better of:

= 40% * 150

= 60 holes
