Answer: The required experimental probability that he will catch the next ball hit in his direction is [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The number of balls were hit his direction = 15
The number of balls he caught = 12
Now , the experimental probability that he will catch the next ball hit in his direction =[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of balls he caught}}{\text{Number of balls hit his direction }}[/tex]
[tex]\\\\=\dfrac{12}{15}=\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]
Hence, the required experimental probability that he will catch the next ball hit in his direction is [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex].
