Question

Find the odds against making a basket if you have made 17 out of 25 shots.

Answer 1

25=100%
17= x%
after cross multiplying you get that 17 is about 68% sucess rate, then there is a 32% chance that you won't make the next shot based on your previous performance

Answer 2

25x = 100(17)
25x = 1700
x = 1700/25
x = 68% = sucess rate, meaning 17 shots are 68% of 25 shots that you attempted
so the difference are the shots you've missed

Answer 3

which is 32%

Answer 4

thank you so much!!!

Answer 5

probability of odds against=\[\frac{ 25-17 }{ 25 }=\frac{ 8 }{ 25 }\]
