Question

Jaycee follows baseball closely. This season, his favorite professional player has a batting average of zero point two five zero, or twenty-five percent. This means that, on average, he gets one hit every four times he is at bat. Jaycee wants to know the likelihood that his favorite player will get at least two hits in the five times he'll be at bat. So Jaycee conducted a simulation to find out.

He programmed a random number generator to give numbers between 1 and 4, with an outcome of 1 indicating a hit. His results are shown here.

Based on Jaycee's data, what is the probability that h

Answer 1

Based on Jaycee's data, what is the probability that his favorite baseball player will get at least two hits in the next game, with five times at bat?

Answer 2

These are the answers to choose from.
twenty percent

twenty-five percent

seventy-five percent

eighty percent

Answer 3

how many times does 1 show up more than once

Answer 4

4 times

Answer 5

out of how many simulations total

Answer 6

16

Answer 7

divide the two and multiply by 100, so


4/16 = 0.25

then multiply by 100 to get

0.25*100 = 25%

Answer 8

so based on the data from the simulations, there's a 25% chance that his favorite baseball player will get at least two hits in the next game, with five times at bat

Answer 9

Ok thank you!! I gave you a medal also..

Answer 10

obviously more simulations are needed to paint a more accurate picture, but you get the idea

you're welcome
