Compute and compare theoretical and experimental probability in simple settings.
Interpret experimental probability in context
Problem
A player made \(18~\text{of}~25\) practice free throws. Calculate the experimental probability and interpret the observed result.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Start with the observed success rate: made free throws belong in the numerator and all practice attempts belong in the denominator. Convert that fraction to a percent so the size of the rate is easy to interpret. Keep the conclusion tied to this practice session, since an experimental rate summarizes past trials without guaranteeing the next shot.
