Question: Mia is watching a baseball game. So far, 10 out of 18 batters have gotten a hit. What is the experimental probability that the next batter will get a hit?
Simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.
(1) P(hit) = 5/9
(2) P(hit) = 5/7
(3) P(hit) = 5/1
(4) P(hit) = 5/5
Solution:
REMEMBER : The experimental probability is the number of times an event occurs out of the total number of trials.
Write the experimental probability as a fraction in simplest form.
P(hit) = hits/total
= 10/18
= 5/9
So,
P(hit) = 5/9
Then the option is (1)P(hit) = 5/9
