Question

Three softball players discussed their batting averages after a game.

Probability
Player 1 four sevenths
Player 2 five eighths
Player 3 three sixths
By comparing the probabilities and interpreting the likelihood, which statement is true?
Player 1 is more likely to hit the ball than Player 2 because P(Player 1) > P(Player 2)
Player 2 is more likely to hit the ball than Player 1 because P(Player 2) > P(Player 1)
Player 3 is more likely to hit the ball than Player 1 because P(Player 3) > P(Player 1)
Player 3 is more likely to hit the ball than Plaver 2 because P(Player 3) > P(Player 2)

Answer 1

(Player 2) > P(Player 1) and P(Player 2) > P(Player 3), therefore, Player 2 is the most likely to hit the ball.
