Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

This IS basically an experiment with 15 hits out of 45 at-bats

15/45 = .333 or 33.3 % experimental probability

Answer 2

• The experimental probability is of the player getting a hit is 1/3 or 33.33%

--------------------------------------

Given:

• Number of attempts = 45,
• Number of hits = 15.

Find the experimental probability.

Probability of getting a hit is:

• P(hit) = hits / attempts,
• P(hit) = 15/45 = 1/3 ≈ 33.33%.
