The best player on a basketball team makes 85% of all free throws. The second-best player makes 75% of all free throws. The third-best player makes 70% of all free throws. Based on their
experimental probabilities, estimate the number of free throws each player will make in his or her
next 40 attempts. Explain.

For the best player, one equation that gives the estimated number of free throws is. The best player will make about.
free throws.

i. Estimated number of free throws of the best player = 0.85 * 40

ii. 34 free throws

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of free throws made by the best player = 85%

Percentage of free throws made by the second best player = 75%

Percentage of free throws made by the third best player = 70%

Therefore, for 40 attempts;

i. Estimated number of free throws made by the best player = 85% x 40

                                                         = 0.85 x 40

                                                         = 34

ii. Estimated number of free throws made by the second best player = 75%x 40

                                                                 = 0.75 x 40

                                                                 = 30

iii. Estimated number of free throws made by the third best player = 70% x 40

                                                                   = 0.70 x 40

                                                                   = 28

Thus, the equation that gives the estimated number of free throws is 0.85 * 40.

The best player will make about 34 free throws.
