Final answer:
The probability of a home run being hit to right field is 32.3%, and to left field is 1.5%. It is unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field as it only occurred once out of 65 home runs.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the questions regarding the probability of where a baseball player's home runs are hit, we need to consider the total number of home runs and the frequency of home runs hit to specific fields. Here are the calculations:
Probability to Right Field
The probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field (A) can be calculated as the number of home runs to right field divided by the total number of home runs:
Probability(A) = Number of home runs to right field / Total number of home runs
Probability(A) = 21 / 65 ≈ 0.323 or 32.3%
Probability to Left Field
The probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left field (B) follows the same calculation method:
Probability(B) = Number of home runs to left field / Total number of home runs
Probability(B) = 1 / 65 ≈ 0.015 or 1.5%
Unusual Home Run Direction
Regarding the rarity of hitting to left field (C), we assess the frequency. Since the player only hit 1 out of 65 home runs to left field, it can be considered unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field compared to other directions.
