During his 2001 MVP season for the Seattle Mariners, Ichiro Suzuki batted 0.350, meaning that his probability of getting a hit in any at bat was 0.350. In a 2001 game, during which he came to bat 3 times, Ichiro could expect to get at least 1 hit. That is, E(X) > 1. 

true or false?

True.
Getting 1 hit out of 3 bats would mean his average would be 0.333. This is within the 2001 probability of 0.350, so yes, the statement is true.
