Answer 1

Given:

Here we have the probability distribution given in the question.

Required:

We need to find the probability for exactly 3 pitches

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we need to find the total frequency

`15+20+40+15+10=100`

Now by table we can see the frequency for exactly 3 pitches is 40 so the favorable possibility is 40 and total possibility is 100

`P(A)=(40)/(100)=0.4`

Final answer:

probability for the pitcher will throw exactly 3 pitches to a batter is 0.4
