Question

During the first few games of the basketball season, a basketball player shot 25 free throws and made 6 of them. If the basketball player makes free throws at the same rate as in the

first few games and he shoots 110 more free throws during the rest of the season, how many of these additional free throws should he expect to make?
The basketball player should expect to make baskets out of 110 free throws.
(Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:1. Calculate the shooting rate: Divide the number of made free throws by the total number of free throws attempted in the first few games.

Shooting rate = 6/25

2. Calculate the expected number of made free throws: Multiply the shooting rate by the number of additional free throws attempted during the rest of the season.

Expected number of made free throws = Shooting rate * 110

By following these steps, we can find the expected number of made free throws out of the additional 110 attempts.
