Question 852667: You are asked to strike a ball with your bat and you are only allowed to swing three times in a row. If your typical chance to strike a ball in every swing is 60%, the probability that you will strike the ball at least once is:
A 80.6%
B 86%
C 60%
D 93% Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
allowed to swing three times in a row: p(striking the ball) = .60
P(at least once) = 1 - P(do not strike the ball) = 1 - (.40)^3 = 1- .064 = .936
D your closest answer
