Three-Points Accuracy

Consider the following vectors representing the number of three-pointers made and attempted by a basketball player in five games:

Three-Pointers Made: c(4, 5, 3, 6, 7)

Three-Pointers Attempted: c(9, 10, 8, 11, 12)

Calculate the three-point shooting percentage for each game and select the correct average three-point shooting percentage for the five games.

#Creating vector Three-Pointers Made
X3PM <- c(4, 5, 3, 6, 7)
X3PM

## [1] 4 5 3 6 7

#Creating vector Three-Pointers Attempted
X3PA <- c(9, 10, 8, 11, 12)
X3PA

## [1]  9 10  8 11 12

#obtaining the difference 
X3PR <-(X3PM/X3PA)*100
X3PR

## [1] 44.44444 50.00000 37.50000 54.54545 58.33333

For game 1 the accuracy for the shooting percentage was 44.44%

For game 2 the accuracy for the shooting percentage was 50%

For game 3 the accuracy for the shooting percentage was 37.50%

For game 4 the accuracy for the shooting percentage was 54.54%

For game 5 the accuracy for the shooting percentage was 58.33%

#Example on getting the shooting percentage for game 2
X3PR[2]

## [1] 50

In game 2 the accuracy was 50%

# Calculate the average 3-points attempts percentage
Ave3PP <- mean(X3PR)
Ave3PP

## [1] 48.96465

There is an average of 48.96% that the team make 3 points attempt.
