In your last 23 basketball games, you attempted 101 free throws and made 66. Find the experimental probability that you make a free throw. Write the probability as a percent, to the nearest tenth of a percent.
A. 65.3%
B. 69.8%
C. 69.7%
D. 65.7%
66/101 = .653 so 65.3 %
Answer: A
To find the experimental probability that you make a free throw, you divide the number of successful outcomes (made free throws) by the total number of trials (attempts).
Number of successful outcomes (made free throws) = 66
Total number of trials (attempts) = 101
Experimental probability (P) = Number of successful outcomes / Total number of trials
P = 66 / 101
To find the probability as a percent, you need to multiply the result by 100 and round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
P = (66 / 101) * 100
P ≈ 65.3 (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent)
Therefore, the experimental probability that you make a free throw is approximately 65.3%.
The correct answer is A. 65.3%.
To find the experimental probability of making a free throw, you need to divide the number of successful attempts (made free throws) by the total number of attempts.
In this case, you attempted 101 free throws and made 66. So, the experimental probability of making a free throw is 66/101.
To express this percentage, you can multiply the fraction by 100. So, (66/101) * 100 = 65.3%.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 65.3%.
