A baseball player hit 65 home runs in a season. Of the 65 home runs, 19 went to right field, 23 went to right-center field, 9 went to center field, 11 went to left-center field, and 3 went to left field.
(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field?
(b) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field?

a) 29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field

b) 29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field, which is not lower than 5% nor it is higher than 95%. So it was not unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. It is said to be unusual if it is lower than 5% or higher than 95%.

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

Desired outcomes:

19 home runs hit to right field

Total outcomes:

65 home runs

19/65 = 0.2923

29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field

(b) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field?

29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field, which is not lower than 5% nor it is higher than 95%. So it was not unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field.
