Question

Solve using a proportion and an equation. Kendra found the experimental probability of her making a penalty kick in soccer is 3/10 or 30%. Out of 40 penalty kicks, how many could she predict she will make?

Answer 1

Answer: The predicted number of penalty kicks = 12

Explanation:

Given : The experimental probability of her making a penalty kick in soccer is 3/10 or 30%.

So, the proportion of penalty kicks she make = 0.3

Out of 40 penalty kicks, the predicted number of penalty kicks = 0.3 x 40

= 12

Hence, the predicted number of penalty kicks = 12
