Question

Eli has a .375 batting average. What is the probability he gets a hit in each of three consecutive bats? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answer 1

P(3 hits) = 27 / 512

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = AVG = 0.375 = 375 / 1000 = 3 / 8

This is the probability of success, success, success in three consecutive independent trials.

P(3 hits) = P*P*P = P³ = (3/ 8)³ = 27 / 512
