we have

$8\frac{39}{40}$

we know that

In this problem we have a mixed number

A mixed number is a number expressed as the sum of a whole number and a fraction

$8\frac{39}{40}=8+\frac{39}{40}$

Convert the fraction in a decimal number

$\frac{39}{40}=0.975$

Sum the whole number and the decimal number

$8+0.975=8.975$

therefore

the answer is

$8.975$

Answer:

(a) 0.6

(b) 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If I am reading the little table right, You have made 9 shots, and have missed 6 of them. Therefore, in total, you have made $9+6=15$ shots.

The definition of probability is the number of events of a desired outcome divided by the total number of outcomes. Since you wish to make a shot for part a, the number of desired outcomes thus far is 9, out of 15 total shots. Thus,

$P($ making a shot $)=\frac{9}{15}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6$

Since making a shot and not making a shot are mutually exclusive events, and the only two events that could occur when shooting a basket, the probability of not making a shot and the probability of making a shot are all of the possible outcomes, and is thus equal to 1.

$P($ making a shot $)+P($ missing a shot) $=1$
