In baseball, a batting average is the probability of the number of hits divided by the number
Question:
In baseball, a batting average is the probability of the number of hits divided by the number of times at bat. A batting average over .300 is very good. This means that a player will get a hit 300 times for every 1000 times at bat. So, assume the probability of getting a hit is .359 for each time a player is at bat. In a particular game assume the batter batted three times.
a. This is an example of what type of probability?
b. What is the probability of getting three hits in a particular game? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
c. What is the probability of not getting any hits in a game? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
d. What is the probability of getting at least one hit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
