Well A player makes 4 of 12 free throws.

Question: What is the Probability that the player makes the free throw?

4/12 = 1/3

So 1/3 would be the probability that the player makes the free throw?

Yes.

Thank You So Much Ms. Sue! Are you a teacher?

Also, Explain in words how you determined the probability of the player making the free throw.

Anybody there???

To determine the probability that the player makes the free throw, we need to divide the number of successful outcomes (made free throws) by the total number of possible outcomes (total number of free throws).

In this case, the player made 4 out of 12 free throws. So, the number of successful outcomes is 4, and the total number of possible outcomes is 12.

To calculate the probability, divide the number of successful outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:

Probability = Number of successful outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

Thus, the probability that the player makes the free throw is:

Probability = 4 / 12 = 1 / 3

So, the probability is 1/3, or approximately 0.333.
