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 player with a batting average of 0.26 bats 5 times in a game, and each at-bat is an independent event, what is the probability of the player getting at least one hit in the game? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
