Question

A baseball player has a 0.300 batting average (i.e. there is a 30% chance of a hit on any at bat). What is the probability that this player gets hits on each of his next 2 at bats and then makes an out on the next at bat?

Answer 1

Independent events; probability A x probability b x probability C

=0.3 x 0.3 x 0.7 = .063 (6.3%)
