Freddy’s batting average is 400. That means the probability of him getting a hit any time he is at bat is 2 out of 5. Estimate t
he probability that it will take at least three times at bat for him to get a hit. Let the digits 0-3 represent hits and 4-9 represent not getting a hit. Perform 20 trials of a simulation using the random digits in the table below to determine your answer.
Since the probability of a hit is 2/5, not getting hit has the probability (1-2/5)=3/5. We deduce that the probability of the event: "<span>that it will take at least three times at bat for him to get a hit</span>" is the following:
