Question
Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers had the highest batting average in the 2015 Major League Baseball season. His average was 0.268. So assume the probability of getting a hit is 0.268 for each time he batted. In a particular game, assume he batted two times.
This is an example of what type of probability?
Classical
Empirical
Joint
What is the probability of getting two hits in a particular game? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
What is the probability of not getting any hits in a game? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
What is the probability of getting at least one hit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Explanation / Answer
1)this is Empirical probability as based upon previos distribution.
2) probability of getting two hits in a particular game =P(hit on first bat)*P(hit on second bat) =0.268*0.268=0.072
3) probability of not getting any hits in a game =P( no hit on first game)*P(no hit on second)
=(1-0.268)*(!-0.268)=0.536
4) probability of getting at least one hit =1-P(getting no hit) =1-0.536 =0.464
