document.write( "Question 1066662: In baseball, a batting average is the probability of the number of hits divided by the number of times at bat. A batting average over 0.300 is very good. This means that a player will get a hit 300 times for every 1000 times at bat. So, assume the probability of getting a hit is 0.352 for each time a player is at bat. In a particular game, assume the batter batted three times.
