Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability = # of favorable outcomes / possible outcomes
favorable outcomes is what we want to happen ( throwing more than 3 pitches )
So to find the # of favorable outcomes we must find the frequency that the pitcher throws more than 3 pitches ( note: frequency of throwing 3 pitches is not included)
There are two possible outcomes of the pitcher pitching more than 3 pitches, 4 pitches having a frequency of 15, and 5 pitches which has a frequency of 10
So # of favorable outcomes = 10 + 15 = 25
Now we want to find the # of possible outcomes.
To do so we simply add the frequencies of each possible outcome.
15 + 20 + 40 + 15 + 10 = 100
So there are a total of 100 possible outcomes
Finally to find the probability of the pitcher throwing more than 3 pitches we divide favorable outcomes ( 25) by possible outcomes (100)
Our answer = 25/100 which can be converted into a percentage as 25%
