The best player on a basketball team makes 70% of all free throws. The second-best player makes 65% of all free throws. The third-best player makes 55% of all free throws. Based on their experimental probabilities, estimate the number of free throws each player will make in his or her next 60 attempts. Explain.

If the best player makes 70% of all free throws, then this player would be expected to make 70% of the next 60 free throws, which is 42. (The equation that goes with this is )

Similarly, the second-best player would make 65% of 60 throws, which is 39, and the third-best player would make 55% of 60 throws, which is 33.

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
