Question

A baseball player gets 7 hits every 8 times. If this player comes up to bar 32 times in an entire series find how many he would be expected to get

Answer 1

Given:

A baseball player gets 7 hits every 8 times.

So, the probability of the event is,

`P=(7)/(8)`

Probability of not getting the hits is,

`1-P=1-(7)/(8)=(1)/(8)`

If this player comes up to bar 32 times in an entire series.

As player hits 7 times in 8. So, it will form 4 set of 8 .

That means in a total of 32 he gets 4 chances.

Therefore,

`7*4=28`

Answer: the player would have 28 hits.
