Question

bella is watching a baseball game. so far, 4 out of 22 batters have gotten a hit. what is the experimental probability that the next batter will get a hit? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(hit) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

Experimental probability \(P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\)

Step2: Identify values

Number of batters who got a hit (favorable outcomes) is 4, total number of batters (total outcomes) is 22.

Step3: Calculate probability

\(P(\text{hit})=\frac{4}{22}=\frac{2}{11}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{11}\)
