Question

The next three batters on a baseball team have hit percentages of 0.325, 0.250, and 0.275, respectively. What is the probability that the first and third batters will both get a hit, while the second batter does not?

Answer 1

multiply

Answer 2

actually first compute the probability that the second batter does not get a hit, which is \(1-.25\) then multiply

Answer 3

I'll add that the possible answers are
A.
0.067
B.
0.201
C.
0.217
D.
0.603

Answer 4

and ill try that

Answer 5

\(1-.25=.75\) multiply
\[0.325\times 0.75\times 0.275\] it should be a pretty small number

Answer 6

0.067ish? that sounds about right

Answer 7

looks good to me
