A goalie's saves ( 12) and goals scored against ( 6 ) are shown. Did the goalie save at least 65% of the shots on goal?
12/(12+6) = 12/18
is that at least 0.65?
To determine if the goalie saved at least 65% of the shots on goal, we need to calculate the save percentage. The formula for save percentage is:
Save Percentage = (Saves / (Saves + Goals Allowed)) x 100
In this case, the goalie has 12 saves and 6 goals scored against. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Save Percentage = (12 / (12 + 6)) x 100
Save Percentage = (12 / 18) x 100
Save Percentage = 0.6667 x 100
Save Percentage = 66.67%
The calculated save percentage is 66.67%, which is higher than 65%. Therefore, the goalie saved at least 65% of the shots on goal.
