Nick shoots 30 free throws and makes 18. What is the experimental probability that Nick makes the next free throw
The experimental probability is 18/30 or 0.6.
To determine the experimental probability of Nick making the next free throw, we need to calculate the fraction of successful outcomes (made free throws) over the total number of outcomes (total free throws attempted).
Given that Nick made 18 out of his 30 free throws, the experimental probability can be calculated as follows:
Experimental Probability = Number of successful outcomes / Total number of outcomes
Experimental Probability = 18 / 30
Simplifying the fraction:
Experimental Probability = 3 / 5
Therefore, the experimental probability that Nick makes the next free throw is 3/5 or 0.6.
To find the experimental probability that Nick makes the next free throw, we need to calculate the ratio of successful outcomes (made free throws) to total outcomes (total number of attempts). In this case, Nick made 18 out of 30 free throws.
To find the experimental probability, divide the number of successful outcomes (made free throws) by the total number of outcomes (total attempts) and convert it into a percentage.
The experimental probability is given by:
Experimental Probability = (Successful Outcomes / Total Outcomes) * 100
In this case, the number of successful outcomes is 18 (made free throws), and the total number of outcomes is 30 (total attempts).
Experimental Probability = (18/30) * 100
Now, calculate the experimental probability:
Experimental Probability = (0.6) * 100
Experimental Probability = 60%
Therefore, the experimental probability that Nick makes the next free throw is 60%.
