Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

To determine

To calculate: The optimal strategies for Randy and Chris for a baseball game in which Randy throws either a fastball or a slider. When randy pitches a slider, Chris hits the ball with a probability of 0.15 when he anticipates a fastball and hits the ball with a probability of 0.3 when he anticipates a slider. Also, when Randy pitches a fastball, Chris hits the ball with a probability of 0.25 when he anticipates a fastball and hits the ball with a probability of 0.1 when he anticipates a slider. Also, find the expected probability that Chris will hit the ball.

Last Chance Mine (LCM) purchased a coal deposit for $2,918,300. It estimated it would extract 18,950 tons of coal from the deposit. LCM mined the coal and sold it, reporting gross receipts of $1.24 million, $13 million, and $11 million for years 1 through 3, respectively. During years 1-3, LCM reported net income (loss) from the coal deposit activity in the amount of ($11,400), $550,000, and $502,500, respectively. In years 1-3, LCM extracted 19,950 tons of coal as follows: (1) Tons of Coal 18,950 Depletion (2) Basis (2)(1) Rate $2,918,300 $154.00 Tons Extracted per Year Year 1 4,500 Year 2 8,850 Year 3 6,600 Note: Leave no answer blank.
