One interpretation of a baseball player's batting average is as the empirical probability of getting a hit each time the player goes to bat. If a playerwith a batting average of 0.228 bats 5 times in a game, and each at-bat is an independent event, what is the probability of the player getting at least onhit in the game?

Given,sample size (n)=5p=probility of getting a hit in the game=0.228q=probability of not getting a…
