The following table gives the free throws attempted (FTA) and the free throws made (FTM) for the top five players in the NBA for a recent season. Calculate the free throw percentage for each player by writing the FTM over the FTA and converting this fraction to a decimal
Player FTM FTA
Allan Houston 363 395
Ray Allen 316 345
Steve Nash 308 339
Troy Hudson 208 231
Reggie Miller 207 230
The following table gives the winning percentages of the top five coaches in NFL history. What fraction of his games has each coach won?
Coach Percentage
Don Shula 0.676
George Halas 0.672
Tom Landry 0.606
Curly Lambeau 0.624
Paul Brown 0.667
This question was asked by a different person. If you look at the thread Math by Trina there is an answer.
the mean, mode, and median for the numbers16, 20, 12, 35, 16, 34, 28, 34, 28, 1, 30, 15.
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). Then you convert this fraction to a decimal.
Here are the calculations for each player:
1. Allan Houston: FTM = 363, FTA = 395
Free throw percentage = FTM / FTA = 363 / 395 ≈ 0.919
2. Ray Allen: FTM = 316, FTA = 345
Free throw percentage = FTM / FTA = 316 / 345 ≈ 0.915
3. Steve Nash: FTM = 308, FTA = 339
Free throw percentage = FTM / FTA = 308 / 339 ≈ 0.909
4. Troy Hudson: FTM = 208, FTA = 231
Free throw percentage = FTM / FTA = 208 / 231 ≈ 0.900
5. Reggie Miller: FTM = 207, FTA = 230
Free throw percentage = FTM / FTA = 207 / 230 ≈ 0.900
To calculate the fraction of games won for each coach, you can take the winning percentage and convert it to a fraction.
Here are the calculations for each coach:
1. Don Shula: Percentage = 0.676
Winning fraction = 0.676 = 676/1000 (Simplify if necessary)
2. George Halas: Percentage = 0.672
Winning fraction = 0.672 = 672/1000 = 168/250 (Simplify if necessary)
3. Tom Landry: Percentage = 0.606
Winning fraction = 0.606 = 606/1000 = 303/500 (Simplify if necessary)
4. Curly Lambeau: Percentage = 0.624
Winning fraction = 0.624 = 624/1000 = 312/500 (Simplify if necessary)
5. Paul Brown: Percentage = 0.667
Winning fraction = 0.667 = 667/1000 (Simplify if necessary)
Please note that for fractions, simplify if possible to get the final answer.
