Since your favorite football player catches the 70% of the time it is thrown at him, then 30% should be part of the set of numbers that could be used to represent the times when he doesn't catch the ball being thrown at him.

If you have a list of choices, check whether it has 30 or 30% or 0.30 as part of its number set and it would most likely be the answer.
