To find the percent of free throws the player missed, we need to calculate the number of misses out of the total number of free throws attempted and then express it as a percentage.
The player attempted 6 free throws and made 5, so he missed 6 - 5 = <<6-5=1>>1 free throw.
To find the percentage, we divide the number of misses (1) by the total number of attempts (6) and multiply by 100: \(\frac{1}{6} \times 100\).
Therefore, the basketball player missed \(\frac{1}{6} \times 100 = \frac{100}{6} = 16.67\) percent of the free throws.
