Player A successfully made 80 free throws out of 300. If player a were to attempt another free throw, what is the probability of a successful throw?
The probability of a successful free throw for Player A can be calculated by dividing the number of successful throws by the total number of attempts:
P(successful throw) = 80/300
Simplifying this fraction, we get:
P(successful throw) = 4/15
Therefore, the probability of a successful throw for Player A is 4/15 or approximately 0.267.
To find the probability of a successful throw, we need to use the ratio of successful outcomes to total outcomes.
In this case, Player A made 80 successful free throws out of a total of 300 attempts.
Therefore, the probability of a successful throw can be calculated as:
Probability of a successful throw = Successful outcomes / Total outcomes
Probability of a successful throw = 80 / 300
Simplifying, we get:
Probability of a successful throw = 8 / 30
Thus, the probability of a successful throw for Player A is 8/30 or approximately 0.267 or 26.7%.
