A basketball player made 40 out of 50 free throws in last week's games. a) Find the player's free-throw
percentage. (I believe it's 80%)

b) If the player averages eight free throws
per game, how many of them should she expect to make?

a) The player's free-throw percentage is 80%

b) If the player averages 8 free throws per game, she should expect to successfully make 6.4 or about 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the percent (80%) a fraction, 80/100.

Since the total amount of throws she makes is 8, put 8 as the denominator (bottom of the fraction) and an x as the numerator (top of the fraction) since the amount of throws she will make is unknown.

Because 80/100 is her free throw percentage, it should be consistent with the 8 she throws each game. Due to that, the x/8 is equal to the 80/100.

With the equation 80/100 = x/8, multiply diaganolly and you should get 640/100x.

When you divide that, you get 6 40/100 or 6.4 free throws made per every 8 throws. Because you can't make 0.4 of a throw, you round therefore making it 6.

I hope this helps!!! :)

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
