Question

1. A baseball player got a hit 19 times in his last 64 times at bat.

a. What is the experimental probability that the player gets a hit in an at bat?

b. If the player comes up to bat 200 times in a season, about how many hits is he likely to get?​

Answer 1

A)
`Probability =0.297`

B)In 200 times he can hit 59 times !

Explanation:

Here we have , A baseball player got a hit 19 times in his last 64 times at bat. We need to find the following :

a. What is the experimental probability that the player gets a hit in an at bat?

According to question ,

Favorable outcomes = 19

Total outcomes = 64

Probability = (Favorable outcomes)/(Total outcomes) i.e.

⇒
`Probability = (19)/(64)`

⇒
`Probability =0.297`

b. If the player comes up to bat 200 times in a season, about how many hits is he likely to get?​

According to question , In 64 times he hit 19 times . In 1 time there's probability to hit 0.297 times! So ,In 200 times he can hit :

⇒
`Hit =0.297(200)`

⇒ Hit = 59.36

Therefore , In 200 times he can hit 59 times !
