<h3>Answer: Choice B) 17%</h3>

Explanation:

There are 4 shots that land on the green in this sample size. The height of the bar tells us this directly.

Add up the heights of each bar to get 4+5+7+3+5 = 24 which is the total number of shots. The probability of landing on the green is 4/24 = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67% approximately. This rounds to 17%
