\hline Conner & 6 & 3 & 6 \\
\hline April & 5 & 7 & 4 \\
\hline Tony & 4 & 10 & 6 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Based on the data given, calculate the win or tie percentage, in rain, for each goalie.

Conner [tex][tex]$=$[/tex][/tex] [tex][tex]$\square$[/tex][/tex] [tex][tex]$\%$[/tex][/tex]

April [tex][tex]$=$[/tex][/tex] [tex][tex]$\square$[/tex][/tex] [tex][tex]$\%$[/tex][/tex]

Let's calculate the win or tie percentage for each goalie as follows:

1. Conner:
- Games Won: 6
- Games Tied: 3
- Games Lost: 6
- Total Games: 6 + 3 + 6 = 15
- Win or Tie Percentage: [tex]\(\frac{(6 + 3)}{15} \times 100 = \frac{9}{15} \times 100 = 60.0\%\)[/tex]

2. April:
- Games Won: 5
- Games Tied: 7
- Games Lost: 4
- Total Games: 5 + 7 + 4 = 16
- Win or Tie Percentage: [tex]\(\frac{(5 + 7)}{16} \times 100 = \frac{12}{16} \times 100 = 75.0\%\)[/tex]

3. Tony:
- Games Won: 4
- Games Tied: 10
- Games Lost: 6
- Total Games: 4 + 10 + 6 = 20
- Win or Tie Percentage: [tex]\(\frac{(4 + 10)}{20} \times 100 = \frac{14}{20} \times 100 = 70.0\%\)[/tex]

Based on the win or tie percentages calculated:
- Conner = 60.0%
- April = 75.0%
- Tony = 70.0%

The player the coach should pick to play as goalie is April because she has the highest win or tie percentage.

Here are the answers:

Conner = 60.0 %
April = 75.0 %
Tony = 70.0 %

The player the coach should pick to play as goalie is April.
