Question

Rachel’s free-throw average for basketball is 60%. Describe how you can use 10 index cards to model this situation. Then use a simulation to predict how many times in the next 50 tries Rachel will make a free throw.

Answer 1

1. If Rachel's free-throw percentage is 60%, you can take 4 index cards away since 100 - 40 = 60%. For example, if those 10 index cards represent 10 free-throws, and her percentage is 60%, just take 60 away from the total (100%).

2. For the simulation, it's the same as problem 1. Since 50 is the total amount of shots she is going to take, and you know she is going make 60% of them, take 60% from 50 which gives you 30. That means she will make 30 of them and miss 20 of them
