Theoretically what is your chance of making a free throw?Pick out your answer written as a percent.
A
25%
B
50%
C
75%
D
100%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Well, the probability of making a free throw is 70%, so the probability of missing a free throw must be 30%. So what is the probability of missing two free throws in a row? Well, 30% of the times that you go to attempt a free throw, you will miss.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chance is 59 percent, which can be written as 0.50 9 point.

Detailed explanation-3: -Theoretical probability describes how likely an event is to occur. We know that a coin is equally likely to land heads or tails, so the theoretical probability of getting heads is 1/2. Experimental probability describes how frequently an event actually occurred in an experiment.
