Question

In a recent season, hockey player Sidney Crosby scored 42 goals in 76 games he played. Assume that his goal production stayed at that level the following season. What is the probability that he would get his first goal a. in the first game of the season?

Answer 1

Hello,

First, 42 goals in 76 games can be written as the following proportion:
42/76

Next, after finding 42/76, multiply by 100% to have the probability that Sidney would get his first goal in the first game.

42/76 * 100% = 55% (rounded)

Good luck to you!
