Question

Freddy's is batting average is 400. That means the probability of him getting a hit any time he is at bat is 2 out of 5. Estimate the probability that it will take at least three times at bat for him to get a hit. Let the digits 0-3 represent hits and 4-9 represent not getting a hit. Perform 20 trials of a simulation using random digits in the table below to determine your answer.

The chart includes these numbers:
73685 65078 75730 27341
41367 39982 63915 17822
28573 53998 48623 52551

Answer 1

He will hit it 23 out of 60 times and not hit it 37 out of 60 times so he would hit it about 38.3% of the time and miss about 61.6% of the time
