Find the odds.

A basketball player with a free throw shooting percentage of 60% gets fouled and goes to
the line to shoot free throws. What are the odds in favor of her making her first shot?

The player makes 60% of the shots. So the odds are 60:40 in favor of her making the first shot.

To find the odds in favor of the basketball player making her first shot, we need to first calculate the probability of her making the shot.

Given that the player's free throw shooting percentage is 60%, this means she has a 60% chance of making any given free throw.

To convert this probability into odds, we use the formula:

Odds in favor = Probability of success / Probability of failure

In this case, the probability of success is 60% (0.60), and the probability of failure is 100% - 60% = 40% (0.40).

Plugging these values into the formula, we have:

Odds in favor = 0.60 / 0.40 = 1.5

Therefore, the odds in favor of the basketball player making her first shot are 1.5 to 1, or simply 1.5.
