Question

A baseball player hit the ball 42 times out of the last 150 times at bat. What is the player's experimental probability of getting a hit the next time at bat?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.28.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a baseball player hit the ball 42 times out of the last 150 times at bat.

Total no of times he bat = 150

No. of times he hit the ball = 42

We need to find the player's experimental probability of getting a hit the next time at bat.

$\text{Required Probability}=\dfrac{\text{No. of times he hit the ball}}{\text{Total no of times he bat}}$

$\text{Required Probability}=\dfrac{42}{150}$

$\text{Required Probability}=0.28$

Therefore, the required probability is 0.28.
