Answer:

The probability that Dr. Agor made his free throw is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the fact that Dr. Agor usually converts his free throws with a probability of 0.4, to determine the percentage of probability that he will convert his free throw, the following calculation has to be performed:

0.4 x 100 x 1 = X

40 x 1 = X

40 = X

Therefore, Dr. Agor has a 40% chance of making his free throw.
