Bre states that she will make 33 out of 44 of the foul shots she attempts, which means she has a 75%75\% chance of scoring each time she attempts a foul shot. Her friend decides to run a simulation to predict the probability of this occurring. The table below shows the simulation created to predict the amount of times she will actually successfully shoot three out of four foul shots.

The simulation is conducted by using a standard deck of cards. Since a standard deck of cards has four suits, each one of those suits can be assigned a value to produce the 75%75\% probability. In this simulation Hearts, Clovers, and Spades, represent successful foul shots and Diamonds represent misses.

Trial outcomes: DSHC (success), DDHC (fail), DSDS (fail), CCSH (success), CHSH (success), DCHH (success), HHSD (success), SHCD (success), DDHH (fail), DDCS (fail), DHSC (success), DDSC (fail)

D=Diamonds, S=Spades, H=Hearts, C=Clovers

Given the above data, what is the experimental probability of Bre successfully scoring on three out of four foul shots? (round to the nearest percentage)
