Well:
100/7= 1/7 probability

1/7 probability (in percent) x 5= 5/7 probability

5/7 probability= 71.4%

Answer:

Option 1 - 71.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Richard can make 5 out of 7 free throws in basketball.

To find : What is his shooting percentage for free throws?

Solution :

Total number of throws = 7

Richard can make 5 out of 7 free throws in basketball.

Favorable outcome = 5

Probability of getting 5 out of 7 throw is $P=\frac{5}{7}$

Into percentage multiply number by 100,

$P=\frac{5}{7}\times 100$

$P=71.42\$$

His shooting percentage for free throws is 71.4%.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.

Citrus2011 [14]

<h3>Answer: 50</h3>

Explanation:

The original set

{78, 55, 22, 16, 84, 75, 33, 69, 58, 59}

sorts to

{16, 22, 33, 55, 58, 59, 69, 75, 78, 84}

The min and max are 16 and 84 respectively

Midrange = (min + max)/2 = (16+84)/2 = 50

Answer:

x ≈ 7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle.

cos27° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{KL}{KM}$ = $\frac{6.3}{X}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

x × cos27° = 6.3 ( divide both sides by cos27° )

x = $\frac{6.3}{cos27}$ ≈ 7.1 ( to the nearest tenth )
