The probability of getting a hit is .343, so the probability of
striking out is 1 - .343 or .657



Fill in the 8 probabilities by multiplying the probabilities
along the lines that lead to each outcome. 

For instance, the
probality of H,H,H (getting 3 hits) is gotten by multiplying
(.343)(.343)(.343) = .040353607

The probability of the third to last case which was O,H,O (getting
an out, then a hit, then an out) is gotten by multiplying
(.657)(.343)(.657) = .148055607

If you add the whole list of probabilities you should get 1.
