Dj lemahieu of the colorado rockies had the highest batting average in the 2016 major league baseball season. his
average was .348. so assume the probability of getting a hit is .348 for each time he batted. in a particular game, assume
he batted three times.

a. this is an example of what type of probability?

b. what is the probability of getting three hits in a particular game?

c. what is the probability of not getting any hits in a game?

d. what is the probability of getting at least one hit?

a) Binomial probability

b) There is a 3.97% probability of getting three hits in a particular game.

c) There is a 28.62% probability of not getting any hits in a game.

d) 71.38% probability of getting at least one hit.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. This is an example of what type of probability?

For each time he goes to bat, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he gets a hit, or he does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

b. What is the probability of getting three hits in a particular game?

There is a 3.97% probability of getting three hits in a particular game.

c. What is the probability of not getting any hits in a game?

There is a 28.62% probability of not getting any hits in a game.

d. What is the probability of getting at least one hit?

Either he gets at least one hit, or he does not get any. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

There is a 71.38% probability of getting at least one hit.

8 apples are left.

step-by-step explanation:

10-2=8

10 apples

take 2

now u have 8
