Shooting Free Throws

Instructions:
You are the coach of the Up-state College Tigers basketball team. You know that at the end of a close game, you'll need to have your best free throw shooters playing to maximize your chances of winning.

In order to choose the best players, you'll need to know their free throw shooting percentages. You are going to calculate the free throw percentages for 5 players of your choice from the Up-state team based upon the actual results of their shooting.

On your worksheet record the results of each player's free throw shooting for thirty (30) trials. Using this information, calculate the free throw percentage for the 5 players you have chosen.

Note: Any resemblance to real players, living or dead, is probably coincidental -- but who knows? After all, they all have to run fast, jump high, shoot well or be tall in order to play anyway . . .
