Answers

GPT 3.5
To find the percent of free throws that the player missed, we need to subtract the number of free throws made from the total number of free throws attempted, and then divide that by the total number of free throws attempted and multiply by 100.

Total number of free throws attempted = 6
Number of free throws made = 5

Number of free throws missed = Total number of free throws attempted - Number of free throws made
Number of free throws missed = 6 - 5 = 1

Percent of free throws missed = (Number of free throws missed / Total number of free throws attempted) * 100
Percent of free throws missed = (1 / 6) * 100
Percent of free throws missed = 0.1666666666... * 100
Percent of free throws missed = 16.67%

Therefore, the basketball player missed 16.67% of the free throws.
