Answer:

<em>Sherita would need to make 10 free throws</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

Sherita made 46 of her first 60 free throws in this basketball season. Calculating the average we get:

\displaystyle \frac{46}{60}=76.7\%

Sherita wants to have a free throw average of at least 80% in her next x free throws. This means she will have 46+x made throws out of 60+x total throws. For this new performance, the new average would be:

\displaystyle \frac{46+x}{60+x}

And we equate it to 80% (0.8 in decimal):

\displaystyle \frac{46+x}{60+x}=0.8

Multiplying by 60+x:

46+x=0.8(60+x)

Operating:

46+x=48+0.8x

Subtracting 46 and 0.8x:

0.2x=2

Dividing by 0.2

x = 10

Sherita would need to make 10 free throws

A dentist polls his patients and finds that 83 percent brush their teeth at least twice a day, 47 percent floss daily, and 19 pe
puteri [66]

Answer:

The correct option is B. 23%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event that patient brushes his teeth at least twice a day is denoted by A

So, P(A) = 0.83

Let the event that patient flosses daily is denoted by B

So, P(B) = 0.47

Now, it is given that 19 percent patients brush at least twice a day and floss daily.

⇒ P(A and B) = 0.19

Now, we need to find conditional probability of occurring event B given A has occurred.

\implies P(B|A) =\frac{P(A\: and\: B)}{P(A)}\\\\\implies P(B|A) = \frac{0.19}{0.83}\\\\\implies P(B|A) = 0.2289\approx 0.23

Hence, Nearest required percentage = 23%

Therefore, The correct option is B. 23%
