Clark Johnson · Answer 1

An average of every 3 game Jackie Robinson hits a baseball. Hitting a ball during his career is 0.31.

Explanation:

Mean is the measure of central tendency. It gives a single value of a whole data. Average time Jackie hits a baseball is 3. Total number of times a person comes to bat/hit a baseball. Probability is an uncertainty principle. There are number of outcomes in probability. example toss a coin, role a dice, next rainy day. There three types of probability. Classical, Empirical and subjective. Experimental probability is an event of out come. Probability is always between 0 to 1. It can never go beyond 1. Formula for experimental is total events / number of trials. Hit ball by batting times.
