Answer:
<u>It's expected that Jason make 16 out of 20 free throws</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Jason's free-throw scoring average = 80%
2. In a recent game Jason attempted 20 free throws. How many free throws would you expect him to make?
Free throws expected to make by Jason = 20 * 80%
<u>Free throws expected to make by Jason = 16</u>
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
So you can think of this by grouping it like this:
(1-2) + (3-4) + (5-6) + ... + (97-98) + 99
which is equal to: (-1) + (-1) + (-1)... + (-1) + 99
(each group is equal to -1, and 99 won't have a pair since it's the last one)
then, find how many groups of -1 there are:
the groups start at 1 and end at 98, but there are two in each group, so 98/2 = 49. this means there are 49 groups.
so now, you know that there are 49 -1s, so 49 * (-1) = -49.
finally, you can't forget the extra 99 that didn't have a pair, so -49 + 99 = 50.
C. is most likely the correct answer
