For each time up at bat, a baseball player has a 70% chance ofmaking an out, a 10% chance of getting walked, and a 20% chance ofgetting a hit. Estimate the probability that , out of 5 at-bats, theplayer gets at least one hit.
A) About 30%
B) About 70%
C) 100%
D) About 20%
E) About 90%
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!
70 percent of getting an out probably meaning him getting strucked out, and 10 percent getting a walk meaning 4 balls no hit. his only chance of hitting is only 20 percent and the likelihood missing is 80 . the probably is 1/5 getting a hit. 1/5 is like 20/100 or 20 percent. i would say him having a percentage of 20 percent. but the question isnt really straightforward with him hitting the ball and making it to first base or him hitting the ball as a foul.
