Question

the probability of a certain baseball player hitting a foul ball is 1/4. how many foul balls would you expect her to hit after 80 swings?

Answer 1

Probability is 1/4, so all you have to do is multiply 80 by 1/4, which equals 20. 

So, she will likely hit 20 foul balls. 

Answer 2

Answer:  The number of foul balls that we expect her to hit after 80 swings is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the probability of a certain baseball player hitting a foul ball is $\dfrac{1}{4}.$

We are to find the number of foul balls that we expect her to hit after 80 swings.

According to the given information,

Out of 1 ball, the number of hits is given by

$\dfrac{1}{4}.$

therefore, out of 80 balls, the number of hits will be

$\dfrac{1}{4}\times80=20.$

Thus, the number of foul balls  that we expect her to hit after 80 swings is 20.
