Abaseball player hit 60 home runs in a season. of the 60 home runs, 19 went to right field, 20 went to right center field, 9 went to center field, 10 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)

b)

Step-by-step explanation:

PROBABILITY OF AN EVENT IS DEFINED AS

a)

Favorable cases for runs being scored on right of field are 19 Thus probability equals

b)

Favorable cases for runs being scored on left of field are 2 Thus probability equals

c)

Yes it was unusual for the player to hit a home run to left of the field since his probability of hitting the run towards his left is least among all the other areas in which he scored runs.

a ruler? idk

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
