In baseball, a ".300 hitter" gets a hit 30% of the time. (For those of you not well-versed in spiritual things like baseball: hitting .300 is pretty good.) Suppose a player has five times at bat in a game.
a) What is the probability of getting at least one hit in a game?
b) What is the probability of getting at least one hit, in ten consecutive games?
The answers are 0.8319, 0.1588, but I don`t understand how the textbook got them.
