ms.sue, please help me, I don't understand how to do it. its very confusing.
Your numbering is off.
I'd choose player 2 who hasn't missed any shots.
To determine which player you should choose to take the shot, you can look at the shooting percentage for each player. The shooting percentage is calculated by dividing the total shots made by the total shots taken.
Here is the breakdown of the shooting percentage for each player:
Player 1: 5/17 = 29%
Player 2: 5/11 = 45%
Player 3: 3/3 = 100%
Player 4: 9/11 = 81%
Player 5: 4/7 = 57%
Player 6: 11/16 = 68%
Player 7: 6/10 = 60%
Player 8: 1/2 = 50%
Based on these percentages, Player 3 has the highest shooting percentage with 100%, followed by Player 4 with 81%.
Therefore, I would choose either Player 3 or Player 4 to take the shot, as they have the highest shooting percentages and are more likely to make the shot.
