Answer:

The probability that the pitcher throws exactly 8 strikes out of 15 pitches is approximately 0.199

Step-by-step explanation:

The given probability that the pitcher throws a strike, p = 0.507

The number of pitches thrown by the pitcher = 15 pitches

The probability that the pitcher does not throw a strike, q = 1 - P

∴  q = 1 - 0.507 = 0.493

By binomial theorem, we have;

P(X = r) = \dbinom{n}{r}p^{r} \cdot q^{n-r}=  \dbinom{n}{r}p^{r} \cdot \left (1-p  \right )^{n-r}

When X = r =  8, and n = 15, we get;

The probability that the pitcher throws exactly 8 strikes out of 15 pitches, P(8), is given as follows

P(8) = ₁₅C₈ × 0.507⁸ × (1 - 0.507)⁽¹⁵ ⁻ ⁸⁾ = 6,435 × 0.507⁸ × 0.493⁷ ≈ 0.199

Zina [86]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would do a proportion

\frac{3}{50}=\frac{x}{300}

Then you would cross multiply, getting 50x=900.

After that, you would do 900/50, which is 18.
