1 answer

To determine how many players out of 300 are expected to make all 5 baskets based on the dot plot data, you can use a proportion derived from the given statistics.

From the data, we know that 3 out of 20 players made all 5 baskets. To find the expected number for 300 players, you can set up a proportion:

\[ \text{Expected players} = \left(\frac{3 \text{ players}}{20 \text{ players}}\right) \times 300 \text{ players} \]

Now, calculate it:

\[ \text{Expected players} = \left(\frac{3}{20}\right) \times 300 = 3 \times 15 = 45 \]

So, based on the data, you would expect approximately 45 players out of 300 to make all 5 baskets.
