A high school baseball player has a 0.177 batting average. In one game, he gets 6 at bats. What is the probability he will get at least 4 hits in a game?

Question

Round to 3 decimal places

Answer 1

Each trial has two outcomes: gets a hit, or does not get a hit. Assuming each hit is independent, p stays constant at 0.177. n is given to be 6

X is distributed as a Binomial with n=6, p-0.177

P(X>=4) = 1-P(X<=3) = 1-binomcdf(6,0.177,3) = 0.0109
