Question

LeBron scored a basket 72 times out of 150 shots. What percent of his shots did he score?

Answer 1

72 is 48% of 150.....

Answer 2

`48\%`

Explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

Let

x-------> size of the event space

y-------> size of the sample space

`P=x/y`

so

Find the probability of his shots that he scored

In this problem we have

`y=150\ shots`

`x=72\ shots`

The probability is equal to

`P=72/150=0.48`

Convert to percentage number

`100*0.48=48\%`
