Suppose that the probability of your favorite baseball player getting a hit at each at bat is 0.30. What is the probability that he bats 6 times and gets 2 hits? Assume that each at bat is independent of any other at bat.
-------------
Binomial Problem with n = 6 and p(hit) = 0.3
---
P(x = 2) = 6C2*0.3^2*0.7^4
--------------
= binompdf(6,0.3,2)
= 0.3241
