This probability distribution shows thetypical distribution of pitches thrown to abatter in a given

Answer :

Given:

Here we have the probability distribution given in the question.

Required:

We need to find the probability for exactly 3 pitches

Explanation:

First of all we need to find the total frequency

[tex]15+20+40+15+10=100[/tex]

Now by table we can see the frequency for exactly 3 pitches is 40 so the favorable possibility is 40 and total possibility is 100

[tex]P(A)=\frac{40}{100}=0.4[/tex]

Final answer:

probability for the pitcher will throw exactly 3 pitches to a batter is 0.4
