Use experimental probability to make a prediction.
John made 35 free throws and missed 15. Predict the number of free throws he will make in the next 100 tries.
A.
70
B.
85
C.
55
D.
45
15/35 = 3/7 = 43%
45
Yup 45 because 15 is almost 5 away from half, and 45 is "Almost" 5 away from half..
Trust me it is A 70%
Do you guys even know how to multiply?
To make a prediction using experimental probability, we need to calculate the probability of John making a free throw based on the data provided. We can then use this probability to predict the number of free throws he will make in the next 100 tries.
To calculate the probability, we divide the number of successful outcomes (made free throws) by the total number of outcomes (total free throws attempted). In this case, John made 35 free throws and missed 15, so the probability of him making a free throw is:
35 / (35 + 15) = 35 / 50 = 0.7
This means that John has a 70% chance of making a free throw.
To predict the number of free throws he will make in the next 100 tries, we can multiply the probability by the total number of attempts:
0.7 * 100 = 70
Therefore, the prediction is that John will make 70 free throws in the next 100 tries.
So, the correct answer is A. 70.
