A softball player's batting average is defined as the ratio of hits to at bats. Suppose that a player hasa 0.250 batting average and is very consistent, so that the probability of a hit is the same every timeshe is at bat. During today's game, this player will be at bat exactly three times.(a) What is the probability that she ends up with two hits?(b) What is the probability that she ends up with no hits?(c) What is the probability that she ends up with exactly three hit?(d) What is the probability that she ends up with at most one hit?

given data p(hit) = p = 0.250 sample size, n =3 x = No. of time hits p(x=X) = nxC * px * qn-x…

You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent
