Given the statement:
The probability of making a 3-point shot is 30%
Determine how many 3-pointer would a player make in making 100 shots.
Solution:
In order to determine how many 3-pointer would a player make in making 100 shots, we simply take 30% of 100, to do so we must change the percentage to decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 30/100
= 0.3
Now we need to multiply it by 100 to determine many shots are counted.
= (0.3)(100)
= 30
Final answer:
= 30 shots.
