Question

lonnie threw 50 free throws and missed 16 of them. if lonnie throws 75 free throws, what can be predicted about the number she will make successfully? lonnie will make 24 free throws. lonnie will make 51 free throws. lonnie will make 59 free throws. lonnie will make 66 free throws.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate successful throws in first attempt

Total throws = 50, missed = 16. So successful = $50 - 16 = 34$.

Step2: Find success rate

Success rate = $\frac{34}{50} = 0.68$ or 68%.

Step3: Predict for 75 throws

Expected successful = $75\times0.68 = 51$.

Answer:

Lonnie will make 51 free throws.
