The formula to calculate the effective field goal percentage is:
\[ EFG = \frac{2PFG + 1.5 \times 3PFG}{FGA} \times 100 \]
Where:
Effective Field Goal Percentage (EFG) is a metric used to analyze how well a player shoots while considering the difference in points earned between a 3-point and 2-point shot. It adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth more than a 2-point field goal. By incorporating this adjustment, EFG provides a more accurate measure of a player's shooting efficiency.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Calculate the numerator:
\[ 2PFG + 1.5 \times 3PFG = 15 + 1.5 \times 10 = 15 + 15 = 30 \]
Step 2: Divide the result by the number of field goal attempts and multiply by 100:
\[ EFG = \frac{30}{50} \times 100 = 60\% \]
The Effective Field Goal Percentage (EFG) is 60%.
