Pedro has gotten on base 4 out of the last 5 times he was a bat. He scores 50% of the time he gets on base. What is the probability that Pedro will get on base and score on his next at bat

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well its simple multiply P(on base) x P(scoring) = 4/5 x 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.4

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

yep... so the question is saying if you get of base 4/5 = 80% and you score on 1/2 or 50% of times then half of 80% is 40% or 4/10 or 0.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about this one

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

I'd multiply the 3 fractions so 3/70

On nights when it rains, the probability that Kim will go to soccer is 2/5. Tonight there is a 60% chance of rain. What is the probability that she will go to her soccer game

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I take it there is a 100% chance she'll go if it doesn't rain. So.. 60% is 3/5 so there are two choices, rain or no rain. If it rains the probability that she'll play is 2/5 so the chance of her going if it rains is (2/5)(3/5) = 6/25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bam!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Paul and Erin are playing a board game. The spinner has 4 colors on it. Paul needs to spin red two times in order to win. What is the probability that he spins red two times in a row?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i gtg so ill give you a hint sorry assuming all colors are equally likely to come up, then the probility is the product P(red)*P(red)
