Q 8 ) The probability that a randomly selected hit was made by Babe Ruth given that it was a triple is
P(Baby Ruth | Triple ) = P(Baby ruth and Triple)/ P(Triple) = 136 /583 =0.2333
Q 9 ) The probability that a randomly selected hit was a home run given that it was made by Ty Cobb is
P(Home Run| Ty Cobb) = P(Home Run and Ty Cobb)/ P(Ty Cobb) = 114/4186 = 0.0272
