According to the MLB the chance of getting hit by a baseball
According to the MLB, the chance of getting hit by a baseball is .015. If 5 baseball players are randomly selected, what is the probability that one of those five will be hit by a baseball?
Solution
We have p = 0.015, n= 5
p ( X = x ) = nCx * px * ( 1- p ) n-x
p ( x = 1) = 5C1 * 0.0151 * ( 1- 0.015 ) 5-1
= 0.0706
