Stats in SportsWhen dealing with numbers between 0 and 1, The closer the number is to 1 than the better the chance is of this happening. This number can also be converted to a percentage

Example- Some one that is shooting .091 at the free throw line has a better chance of making a free-throw shot then someone who is shooting .081. Someone who is batting .341 has a better chance of hitting the ball than someone who is hitting .319 because .341 is closer to 1 than .319.To convert to a percentage, move the decimal two spots to the right. Ex.833 becomes 83.3% so Cleveland has won 83.3% of their preseason games
