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.
What is the probability of getting three hits in a particular game?
What is the probability of not getting any hits in a game?
What is the probability of getting at least one hit?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
What is the probability of getting three hits in a particular game?
P(x = 3) = 0.352^3 = 0.0436
----------------------
What is the probability of not getting any hits in a game?
P(x = 0) = (0.648)^3 = 0.2721
-------------------------
What is the probability of getting at least one hit?
P(1<=x<=3) = 1-P(x=0) = 1-0.2721 = 0.7279
