In major league baseball, a no-hitter is a game in which a pitcher, or pitchers, doesn't give up any hits throughout the game. N

o-hitters occur at a rate of about three per season. Assume that the duration of time between no-hitters is exponential. What is the probability that an entire season elapses with a single no-hitter? If an entire season elapses without any no-hitters, what is the probability that there are no no-hitters in the following season? What is the probability that there are more than 3 no-hitters in a single season?

Using the Poisson distribution, it is found that:

  • There is a 0.0498 = 4.98% probability that an entire season elapses with a single no-hitter.
  • If an entire season elapses without any no-hitters, there is a 0.0498 = 4.98% probability that there are no no-hitters in the following season.
  • There is a 0.3528 = 35.28% probability that there are more than 3 no-hitters in a single season.

<h3>What is the Poisson distribution?</h3>

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes
  • e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
  • \mu is the mean in the given interval.

The average rate is of 3 no-hitters per season, hence:

\mu = 3.

The probability that an entire season elapses with a single no-hitter is P(X = 0), hence:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498

There is a 0.0498 = 4.98% probability that an entire season elapses with a single no-hitter.

Seasons are independent, hence:

If an entire season elapses without any no-hitters, there is a 0.0498 = 4.98% probability that there are no no-hitters in the following season.

The probability that there are more than 3 no-hitters in a single season is P(X > 3) given as follows:

P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)

In which:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

Then:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240

Then:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 = 0.6472

P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.6472 = 0.3528

There is a 0.3528 = 35.28% probability that there are more than 3 no-hitters in a single season.

If two sides in one triangle are 9 and 21 , then the third side might be
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a rule that says that if you add any 2 sides, it should be more than the third. 9+21 is greater than 13. 21+13 is greater than 9. 13 is the only number which if you add 9 to it it will be greater than 21. 12 will equal 21, but it still wont work.

hope this helps :))

Dorian buys 2 pounds of almonds for $21.98 and 3 pounds of dried apricots for $26.25. Which is less expensive per pound? how muc
Bogdan [553]
Apricots is 8.75 per pound and is less expensive than almonds per pound (10.99). To find how much less expensive you subtract apricots from almonds. 10.99-8.75= 2.24.
