Question

a baseball player gets a hit 40% of the time if the weather is good but only 20% off the time if it is not good weather. The weather forecast is a 7% chance of good weather. what is the probability of the player getting hit

Answer 1

Answer: The probability of the player getting a hit is 0.214.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability  that a baseball player gets a hit if the weather is good = 40% = 0.4

Probability that a baseball player gets a hit if the weather is not good = 20% = 0.2

Probability of good weather = 7% = 0.07

Probability of not good weather = 100-7 = 93% = 0.93

According to question, the probability of the player getting hit is given by

$0.4\times 0.07+0.2\times 0.93\\\\=0.214$

Hence, the probability of the player getting a hit is 0.214.
