Using the probability concept, it is found that:
- There is a 0.115 = 11.5% probability that he misses.
- Out of 100, on average, he would make 88.5.
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
The odds in favor of his making is 23 to 3, which means that, for each free throw he takes:
- The probability of making it is [tex]\frac{23}{23 + 3} = \frac{23}{26} = 0.885[/tex].
- The probability of missing it is [tex]\frac{3}{26} = 0.115[/tex].
There is a 0.115 = 11.5% probability that he misses.
Out of 100, on average, he would make 0.885(100) = 88.5.
