In reviewing batting averages for minor league baseball players, it was found that the batting average is 0.340 or 34% for a player having a good season, find the probability that the player will have a bad season by having 60 hits in 200 times at bat.
----------------------
Binomial with n = 200 and p = 0.34
P(x = 60) = 200C60(0.34)^60*(0.66)^140 = 0.0297
==========
I have only these answers to choose from: 50.34%, 12.64%, 13.14% or 11.72%. I think it is 11.72% Am I correct?
