Josiah plays baseball. He has 17 hits in 53 times at bat. What is the probability that Josiah will get a hit his next time at bat?

Assuming that when he goes back to bat, he is only taking one swing, there is a 32% chance that he will hit it. I set up a proportion of 17hits over 53 swings = x #of hits over 1 swing.
