The best player on a basketball team makes 75% of all free throws. the second best makes 70% of all free throws, and the third-best player makes 65% of all free throws. based on their experimental probabilities, estimate the number of free throws each player will make in his or her next 40 attempts. explain

Best Player: 30

Second Best: 28

Third Best: 26

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Break the percents down into smaller increments - 5% for example.

2) 5% or 1/20 of 40 (the whole) is 2.

3) Using this knowledge, we know that a player who makes 5% of his throws makes 2 shots.

4) 75% is made up of 15 groups of 5%, so that means if you multiply 15 by 2 (the number of shots made for every group of 5%), then you get 30.

5) 70% is made up of 14 groups of 5%, so that means if you multiply 14 by 2 (the number of shots made for every group of 5%), then you get 28.

6) 65% is made up of 13 groups of 5%, so that means if you multiply 13 by 2 (the number of shots made for every group of 5%), then you get 26.

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
