Question

A baseball player hit 68 home runs in a season. Of the 68 home runs, 22 went to right field, 21 went to right center field, 9 went to center field, 10 went to left center field, and 6 went to left field. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to center field? (b) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to center field? (a) The probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to center field is (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) (b) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to center field? r field. B. No, because P(center field) > 0.05 O C. Yes, because P(center field)

Explanation / Answer

Note: I have considered right/left center filed seperately.

a)

Total Home tuns = 68

Right field home runs = 22

Right center field = 21

Center field home runs = 9

left center field =10

left field = 6

Probablity (To hit Center field ) = No times it hit center / Total no times it hit

= 21 + 9 + 10 / 68

= 40/68 = 10/17

b) No, P(center field ) > 0.05
