Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event.

<em>The probability that he hits exactly 2 in the next 7 bats is 0.3039</em>

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{p = 0.235} --- probability that he hits a bat

The question is an illustration of binomial probability, and it is represented as:

\mathbf{Pr = ^nC_xp^x(1 - p)^{n -x}}

In this case:

\mathbf{n = 7}<em> --- number of bats</em>

\mathbf{x = 2}<em> --- number of hits</em>

So, we have:

\mathbf{Pr = ^nC_xp^xq^{n -x}}

\mathbf{Pr = ^7C_2 \times (0.235)^2 \times (1 - 0.235)^{7 -2}}

\mathbf{Pr = 21 \times (0.235)^2 \times (0.765)^5}

\mathbf{Pr = 0.3039}

Hence, the probability that he hits exactly 2 in the next 7 bats is 0.3039

A softball team has 12 girls on it. The coach needs to arrange 9 girls for the batting order. If the lineup is selected at rando
katovenus [111]

Answer: P = 1/12 = 0.083

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the 12 girls, there will be only one that is the lead-off batter.

we can assume that this is the first being selected at random, then the probability that you will be the lead-off batter, is equal to the quotient between 1 (the outcome where you are selected) and 12 (the total number of outcomes)

Then the probability is:

P = 1/12 = 0.083

The fact that there will be an arrange of only 9 girls does not affect the probability of you getting the position of the lead-off batter.
