Fill in the blanks. Suppose the probability of a baseball player getting a hit in an at bat is 0.2935. If the player bats 24 times during a week, his number of hits should be around __________, give or take __________. Assume each at bat is independent.
Here, n = 24
p = 0.2935
q = 1 - p = 0.7065
Mean = np
= 24x0.2935
= 7.044
Standard deviation =
= 2.2308
If the player bats 24 times during a week, his number of hits should be around 7.044, give or take 2.2308

Suppose that the probability of a baseball player getting a hit in an at-bat is 0.2804. If the player has 33 at-bats during a week, what's the probability that he gets no more than 9 hits? Question 6 options: 1) 0.0768 2) 0.1536 3) 0.5493 4) 0.4507 5) 0.3957
A baseball player, Mickey, who bats 310 (or .310) gets an average of 3.1 hits in ten at bats. We will assume that each time Mickey bats he has a 0.31 probability of getting a hit. This means Mickeys at bats are independent from one another. If we also assume Mickey bats 5 times during a game and that x= the number of hits that Mickey gets then the following probability mass function, p(x), and cumulative distribution function F(x) are...
How do I do this? 1. When a particular baseball players come to the plate, he has a % chance of getting a hit. During one particular game, the player is at bat 3 times. A. What is the probability that he gets exactly 1 hit in his 3 at bats? B. What is the probability that the player gets at least one hit during the games? C. What is the probability that the plater has two hits in his...
A professional baseball player claims he can get a hit 30% of the time based on batting average. During the next 10 games he had 38 at bats and only got 7 hits. Test the claim that the player gets a hit 30% of his at-bats with a significant level of 0.05 6. A professional baseball player claims he can get a hit 30% of the time based on his batting average However, during the next 10 games he had...
Please use the central limit theorem. 9.14 A baseball player has a batting average of 0.328. Let X be the number of hits the player gets during 20 times at bat. Use the central limit theorem to find the approximate probability P(X<k) for k = 1, 3, 6. Compare with the exact probability for each k. Problem 9.14. The problem assumes that the batter's probability of getting a hit stays constant at p=0.328 while he comes up to bat 20...
A baseball player has a batting average (probability of getting on base per time at bat) of 0.215. Based on this: What is the probability that they will get on base more than 6 of the next 15 at bats?
A baseball player is said to be having a hitting streak if he has gotten on base, by hitting the ball or walking, in a “large” number of consecutive times at bat. Suppose a batter has batted a large number of times during the season and that his batting average is 300; that is, he has hit 30% of his times at bat. How many hits must he get for you to consider this batter to have had an unusually...
5. Suppose a baseball player hits a "single” twice as likely as a "double”, which is twice as likely as a "triple”, which is as likely as a "home run”. Also, his batting average (the probability that he gets a hit) is 0.3. Let B denote the number of bases touched safely during an at-bat. For example, B=0 for out, B = 1 for a single, and so on. (a) Find the PMF of B. (b) Find the CDF of...
Every time Casey is at bat he has a 0.4 probability of getting on base (assume each at bat is an independent event, and that this probability never changes). In one week of baseball, he has twelve times at bat. What is the variance of the number of times he will get on base in a week?
A very reliable baseball player is known to get a hit when at bat 42% of the time. He is expected to have 102 more times at bat before the end of the season, and he is 40 hits away from breaking a league hitting record. What is the probability of him breaking that record before the end of the season? Problem #1: Round your answer to 4 decimals.
