Answer:
i. Estimated number of free throws of the best player = 0.85 * 40
ii. 34 free throws
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage of free throws made by the best player = 85%
Percentage of free throws made by the second best player = 75%
Percentage of free throws made by the third best player = 70%
Therefore, for 40 attempts;
i. Estimated number of free throws made by the best player = 85% x 40
= 0.85 x 40
= 34
ii. Estimated number of free throws made by the second best player = 75%x 40
= 0.75 x 40
= 30
iii. Estimated number of free throws made by the third best player = 70% x 40
= 0.70 x 40
= 28
Thus, the equation that gives the estimated number of free throws is 0.85 * 40.
The best player will make about 34 free throws.
