Question

The likelihood that Han makes a free throw in basketball is 60%. The likelihood that he makes a 3-point shot is 0.345. Which event is more likely, Han making a free throw or making a 3-point shot? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer: 81% of free throws

Explanation:

Answer 2

-The event of a free throw. It has the higher probability of the two events.

Explanation:

-We convert the likelihood of a free throw into a decimal probability to compare:

`60\%=(60)/(100)\\\\\\=0.6`

#We then compare this probability to the probability of a 3-pointer:

`0.6>0.345\\\\`

Hence, the event of a a free- throw is more likely since it has a high probability that the event of a 3-pointer(0.6>0.345)
