Homework Answers
(A) using geometric distribution formula
where n = 8 and p = 20/100 = 0.20
(B) probability that his first hit will not be within the first nine pitches = (1-p)^n
where p = 0.20 and n = 9
this gives us
P(no hit within 9 pitches) = (1-0.20)^9 = 0.1342

Stew has a pitching algorithm that never changes. In the first pitch of each plate appearance, he throws a fastball 70% of the time. The following pitch selection is determined *only* by the type of pitch immediately preceding it. If the previous pitch was off-speed, he will throw a fastball 80% of the time and an off-speed pitch 20% of the time. If the previous pitch was a fastball, however, he will throw either a fastball or off-speed pitch with...

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...

Business Cases The Business of Blue Jays Baseball Baseball has long been called “America’s national pastime” with a long history of traditions such as large groups of scouts watching thousands of games to find players for their ball club. Commonly used statistics such as stolen bases, runs batted in, and batting averages that were typically used to evaluate players’ abilities and performances were becoming inadequate and poor gauges of potential. The game changed with Sabermetrics, the use of advanced statistics...
