To predict how many successful free-throws a basketball player will make if he has 500 more attempts, we can follow these steps based on the player's current success rate:
1. Calculate the player's current free-throw success rate:
- Number of successful free-throws: 96
- Total attempts: 128
- Success rate = (Successful free-throws / Total attempts) 100
- Success rate = (96 / 128) 100 = 75%
2. Use the current success rate to predict the number of successful free-throws in 500 more attempts:
- Number of additional attempts: 500
- Predicted successful free-throws = Success rate (Total attempts + Additional attempts)
- Predicted successful free-throws = 75% (128 + 500)
- Predicted successful free-throws = 0.75 * 628
- Predicted successful free-throws = 471
Therefore, if the basketball player has 500 more attempts, we can predict that he will make approximately 471 successful free-throws based on his current success rate of 75%.
