Answer 1

Answer:

They are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

25 out of 100 can also be wrote as 25/100. Now percentages can be wrote as decimals or fractions, so you can write 25% as 25/100. If you were compare now they look the exact same.

Answer 2

The answer would be that both goalies are the same and have the same chance at blocking each shot.

This is because 25 out of 100 is %25 and that is also 1/4 in fraction form.

And then, the goal who can block %25 of shots is stated quite explicit so they are the same.

EXPLANATION: The questions asked which one " would lead to a better goalie under the normal circumstances where no one is affected", meaning that in this case, they always have that chance of blocking that many shots.

Since, there is no external factor affecting them, it is an exact 25% chance to block the shots.
