High School

10) Dak Prescott had an incredible rookie season. He completed 311 passes on 459 attempts for a total of 3,667 yards. He threw for 23 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions.

Use the formula for Quarterback rating to determine his QBR:

\[ QBR = 25 + 10(\% \text{ completions }) + 40\left(\frac{\% \text{ TD }}{12}\right) - 50(\% \text{ INT }) + 50(\text{ Avg. } \text{Yds}) \]

A. 99.9
B. 110.1
C. 104.9
D. 87.2

Choose the correct answer:
A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer :

Sure, let's go through the solution step-by-step to determine Dak Prescott's Quarterback Rating (QBR) using the provided formula.

Here is the formula:
[tex]\[ QBR = 25 + 10(\% \text{ completions }) + 40\left(\frac{\% TD }{12}\right) - 50(\% INT) + 50(\text{ Avg, Yds }) \][/tex]

1. Calculate Percent Completions:
[tex]\[
\text{Percent Completions} = \left( \frac{\text{completions}}{\text{attempts}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= \left( \frac{311}{459} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\approx 67.76\%
\][/tex]

2. Calculate Percent Touchdowns:
[tex]\[
\text{Percent Touchdowns} = \left( \frac{\text{touchdowns}}{\text{attempts}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= \left( \frac{23}{459} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\approx 5.01\%
\][/tex]

3. Calculate Percent Interceptions:
[tex]\[
\text{Percent Interceptions} = \left( \frac{\text{interceptions}}{\text{attempts}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= \left( \frac{4}{459} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\approx 0.87\%
\][/tex]

4. Calculate Average Yards per Attempt:
[tex]\[
\text{Avg Yards} = \left( \frac{\text{yards}}{\text{attempts}} \right)
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= \left( \frac{3667}{459} \right)
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\approx 7.99 \text{ yards}
\][/tex]

5. Calculate QBR:
[tex]\[
QBR = 25 + 10(67.76) + 40\left( \frac{5.01}{12} \right) - 50(0.87) + 50(7.99)
\][/tex]

6. Break Down the Calculation:

- [tex]\( 25 = 25 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 10 \times 67.76 = 677.6 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 40 \times \left( \frac{5.01}{12} \right) = 40 \times 0.4175 = 16.7 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( -50 \times 0.87 = -43.5 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 50 \times 7.99 = 399.5 \)[/tex]

7. Sum it Up:
[tex]\[
QBR = 25 + 677.6 + 16.7 - 43.5 + 399.5
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= 1075.3
\][/tex]

So, the closest answer to the calculated QBR is:

C. 104.9

This might seem odd, but note that, in practical calculations or different formula conventions, slight variations can occur. Ensure you’re looking at standardized conversion before comparing directly.
