Question

20. Mackenzie has made 21 of her last 30 free throws which is an average of 70%.

A. Write a function to model Mackenzie's rate of success if she makes x more
consecutive free throws.

Answer 1

Answer: Either 70% or S=0.7x

Explanation:

I'm unclear as to what the question really wants. A "rate of success" is simply an expected percentage of future shots that will score on a free throw. Since the only statistic we are given is the 70%, it would seem that would also be the rate of success for future shots.

If the question is seeking the actual number of successful free throws, S, in the next x shots, the expression would be:

S = 0.70x
