Question

If a baseball player has 5 hits in 20 at bats, what is the probability in the decimal to the thousandths place that he will get a hit in the next at-bat

Answer 1

Answer:

$Probability = 0.250$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Hits = 5$

$Bats = 20$

Required

Determine the probability of hit in next at-bat

This question illustrates theoretical probability and the required probability is calculated using:

$Probability = \frac{Events\ Occurrence}{Trials}$

In this case, we have:

$Probability = \frac{Hits}{Bats}$

$Probability = \frac{5}{20}$

$Probability = 0.250$
