Given:
There is a 65% chance you will make a free throw.
To find:
The percent of the time you will miss.
Solution:
If p is the percent of success and q is the percent of failure, then
[tex]p+q=100\%[/tex]
[tex]q=100\%-p[/tex] ...(i)
It is given that there is a 65% chance you will make a free throw. It means the percent of success is 65%. We need to find the percent of the time you will miss. It means we have to find the percent of failure.
Substituting p=65% in (i), we get
[tex]q=100\%-65\%[/tex]
[tex]q=35\%[/tex]
Therefore, there is a 35% chance you will miss the free throw.
