baseball player has a batting average of 0.29. what is the profitability that he has exactly 7 hits in his next 7 at bats?
If a baseball player has a batting average of 0.29 (and assuming that each time-at-bat is independent from every other time-at-bat), then for this player to get 7 hits in a row is: (0.29) x (0.29) x (0.29) x (0.29) x (0.29) x (0.29) x (0.29) or (0.29)7.
This is an extremely unlikely occurrence, probabiliy = 0.00017
