(This example was introduced in Chapter 5.) How many base hits
can a baseball team expect to get in a game? Frohlich (1994)
recorded the number of hits by the 28 Major League Baseball teams
for all of the games played in 1989 to 1993 (each team plays 162
games a year). He found that the number of hits the teams made in
the games was normally distributed, with a mean of 8.72 and a
standard deviation of 1.10.
What is the probability of a team getting more than 7 hits?
What is the probability of a team getting less than 10 hits?
What is the probability of a team getting less than 6 hits?
What is the probability of a team getting between 8 and 11
hits?
NOTE: Exercises 10 to 15 use the binomial probabilities table.

5. The World Series determines the national championship team for Major League Baseball. In the World Series, two teams (A and B) play a series of games until one wins 4 games. Assume that the games are played independently and the probability that Team A wins is 0.40 and this does not change from game to game. Let the random variable X represent the total number of games required in a randomly selected World Series. The CDF for X is:...

The batting average of a baseball player is the number of “hits”
divided by the number of “at-bats.” Recently, a certain major
league player’s at-bats and corresponding hits were recorded for
200 consecutive games. The consecutive games span more than one
season. Since each game is different, the number of at-bats and
hits both vary. For this particular player, there were from zero to
five at-bats. Thus, one can sort the 200 games into six
categories:
0 at-bats
1 at-bat...
