Question

In his last season with the Red Sox, David Ortiz was at bat about 500 times and got a hit about 170 times. What is the probability that he would get a hit on his next at bat? Write your answer as a percent

Answer 1

Explanation:

Bat = 500

Hit = 170

probabiloty(A=Bat) = Number of outcomes favourable to A / Total number of possible outcomes

P(A) = 500/670

= 0.75

Therefore, probability in percentage = 0.75 ×100= 75%
