Answer:

1. 19/60 = 0.32

2. 1/60 =0.12

Explanation:

Right field = 19

Right center field =18

Center field =12

Left center field = 10

Left field = 1

Total home runs = 60

Let P stand for Probability

Then

1. P(right field) = 19/60 =0.32

2. P(left field) = 1/60 =0.12

3. Option C is the answer because the probability of an unusual events is less than 0.05. so 0 is also less than 0.05
