The next three batters on a baseball team have hit percentages of 0.325, 0.250, and 0.275, respectively. what is the probability that the first and third batters will both get a hit, while the second batter does not? a. 0.067 b. 0.201 c. 0.217 d. 0.603

Option A. 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

If three batters on a baseball team have hit percentages of  0.325, 0.250 and 0.275 respectively.

We have to calculate the probability that first and third batters will get a hit while second batter does not.

Since percentage of second batter to get a hit = 0.25

so percentage of second batter not to get a hit = (1 - 0.25)

= 0.75

Therefore, probability that the first and third batter to get a hit and second batter not to get a hit will be

=

= 0.325 × 0.75 × 0.275

= 0.067

The Probability is 0.067 that the first and third batters will both get a hit, while the second batter does not.
