Exam 2 - Question 5

Question 5

Consider the following vectors representing the number of field goals made and attempted by a basketball player in five games:

Field Goals Made: c(8, 7, 6, 9, 10) Field Goals Attempted: c(15, 12, 18, 14, 13)

Calculate the field goal percentage for each game and select the correct average field goal percentage for the five games.

#Defining Field_Goals_Made vector
Field_Goals_Made <- c(8, 7, 6, 9, 10)
Field_Goals_Made

## [1]  8  7  6  9 10

#Defining Field_Goals_Attempted vector
Field_Goals_Attempted <- c(15, 12, 18, 14, 13)
Field_Goals_Attempted

## [1] 15 12 18 14 13

#calculate the field goal percentage for each game.
Field_goal_percentage <- (Field_Goals_Made / Field_Goals_Attempted)*100
Field_goal_percentage

## [1] 53.33333 58.33333 33.33333 64.28571 76.92308

#calculate the average field goal percentage
Average_field_goal_percentage <- mean(Field_goal_percentage)

#printing the average_field_goal_percentage
Average_field_goal_percentage

## [1] 57.24176

The average field goal percentage for the five games is 57.24
