It is computed that when a basketball player shoots a free throw, the odds in favor of his making it are 24 to 4. Find the probability that when this basketball player shoots a free throw, he misses it. Out of every 100 free throws he attempts, on the average how many should he make? The probability that the player misses the free throw is (Type an integer or a simpified fraction.) The player should make out of 100 free throws. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
