A baseball player hit 53 home runs in a season. Of the 53 home runs, 17 went to right field, 15 went to right center field, 10 went to center field, 9 went to left center field, and 2 went to left field. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field? (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left field? (c) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field? Explain. (a) The probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

a) 0.321 = 32.1% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field

b) 0.038 = 3.8% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left field

c) 3.8% probability of hitting a home run to left field, which is lower than 5%, so yes, it was unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field?

Desired outcomes:

17 home runs to right field, so

Total outcomes:

53 total home runs, so

0.321 = 32.1% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field

(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left field?

Desired outcomes:

2 home runs to left field, so

Total outcomes:

53 total home runs, so

0.038 = 3.8% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left field

(c) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field?

Probabilities lower than 5% means that the event is unusual.

3.8% probability of hitting a home run to left field, which is lower than 5%, so yes, it was unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field.

10.416 m/s

step-by-step explantion:

distance=100m

time= 9.6s

average speed=100/9.6

=10.416 m/s

a28=58

step-by-step explanation:

a1=a1+(n-1)d

a28= 4+ (28-1)2

a28=4+(27)(2)

a28=4+54

a28=58
