Math Question: In a basketball contest, Elizabeth made 9 out of 25 free throws. Alex made 8 out of 20 free throws. Janie said that Elizabeth had a better free throw record because she mad more free throws.

The key word is better throw record. That means a better chance to win the game. Behind the senario, this question is a little tricky because the question was not so directly point out what exactly how we do with it. In order to better illustrate, I use probability to answer this question: Let A =the probability/chance of Eliza successfully throw in the basket Let B=the probability or chance of Alexia successfully throw in the basket A=9÷25=36% of success of free throw B=8÷20=40% of sucess of free tgrow As the percentage of chance inducated, B is greater than A.
