Option B
The experimental probability that she will get a hit in her next at bat is 40 %
Solution:
A softball player got a hit in 20 of her last 50 times at bat
To find: Experimental probability
The experimental probability is given as:
[tex]P(of\ an\ event) = \frac{\text{number of times the event occurs}}{\text{number of trials}}[/tex]
From given,
Number of times the event occurs = 20
Number of trials = 50
Therefore,
[tex]p = \frac{20}{50}\\\\p = 0.4[/tex]
In percentage,
[tex]p = 0.4 \times 100 = 40 \%[/tex]
Thus the experimental probability that she will get a hit in her next at bat is 40 %
