To calculate the free throw percentage for each player, you need to divide the number of free throws made (FTM) by the number of free throws attempted (FTA) and then convert the resulting fraction to a decimal.
Let's go through the calculation for each player:
1. Allan Houston:
Free Throw Percentage = FTM / FTA
Free Throw Percentage = 363 / 395
Free Throw Percentage ≈ 0.9191 (rounded to four decimal places)
2. Ray Allen:
Free Throw Percentage = FTM / FTA
Free Throw Percentage = 316 / 345
Free Throw Percentage ≈ 0.9159 (rounded to four decimal places)
3. Steve Nash:
Free Throw Percentage = FTM / FTA
Free Throw Percentage = 308 / 339
Free Throw Percentage ≈ 0.9097 (rounded to four decimal places)
4. Troy Hudson:
Free Throw Percentage = FTM / FTA
Free Throw Percentage = 208 / 231
Free Throw Percentage ≈ 0.9004 (rounded to four decimal places)
5. Reggie Miller:
Free Throw Percentage = FTM / FTA
Free Throw Percentage = 207 / 230
Free Throw Percentage ≈ 0.9000 (rounded to four decimal places)
Now, let's calculate the fraction of games won for each coach in the NFL:
To find the fraction of games won, you simply need to subtract the winning percentage from 1. For example, if the winning percentage is 0.676, the fraction of games won would be 1 - 0.676 = 0.324.
1. Don Shula:
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - Percentage
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - 0.676
Fraction of Games Won ≈ 0.324 (rounded to three decimal places)
2. George Halas:
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - Percentage
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - 0.672
Fraction of Games Won ≈ 0.328 (rounded to three decimal places)
3. Tom Landry:
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - Percentage
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - 0.606
Fraction of Games Won ≈ 0.394 (rounded to three decimal places)
4. Curly Lambeau:
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - Percentage
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - 0.624
Fraction of Games Won ≈ 0.376 (rounded to three decimal places)
5. Paul Brown:
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - Percentage
Fraction of Games Won = 1 - 0.667
Fraction of Games Won ≈ 0.333 (rounded to three decimal places)
