The probability that a baseball player will get a hit is 0.300. What is the probability that he will get one hit in his next two turns at bat

Sagot :

Answer:

0.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a miss on one bat = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7.

There are 2 scenarios:

First bat a Hit,  Second bat a Miss, or

First bat a Miss,  Second bat a Hit.

First scenario: Probability = 0.3 * 0.7 = 0.21.

Second is  0.7 * 0.3 = 0.21.

So the answer is 0.21 + 0.21 = 0.42.
