The range that contains the middle 95% of the result is 47 & 48 field goal attempts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the count from 1 - 95 will find 47 & 48 at the middle of the range

i. e. 47 + 48 = 95

∴ Equating the field goals to percentage = 95%.

Yes his claim is justifiable because the numbers that form the range are very close to 50% which is half of the 100% field goals.
