A basketball player makes 65% of all free throws
in her first 5 seasons. In her 6th season she
makes 105 out of 150 free throws. How does the
observed frequency of her 6th season compare
to the expected frequency? Provide a possible
explanation for any similarities or differences in
the frequencies. 7.50.3.7

Answer 1

Answer: The relative frequency of an event is the ratio of the number of times an event happens to the number of times the event is attempted. Relative frequencies are often used in decision making and to predict outcomes. Relative frequencies are based on data previously collected and recorded. Probabilities are based on assumptions.
