.625 = 62.5%
read up on converting decimals to percentages.
To find the probability of Phil getting a hit his next time at bat, we need to convert his batting average into a probability.
Batting average is defined as the total number of hits divided by the total number of at-bats. In this case, Phil has a batting average of 0.625, meaning he gets a hit 62.5% of the time he's at bat.
To convert this decimal into a percent, multiply the decimal by 100. So, 0.625 multiplied by 100 equals 62.5%.
Therefore, the probability of Phil getting a hit his next time at bat is 62.5%.
To determine the probability of Phil getting a hit his next time at bat, we can use the batting average formula.
Batting average (BA) is calculated by dividing the number of hits (H) by the number of at-bats (AB).
In this case, we know the batting average is 0.625, which means Phil has gotten hits in 62.5% of his at-bats.
To calculate the probability of Phil getting a hit his next time at bat, we assume that his past performance will continue. Therefore, the probability of Phil getting a hit is the same as his batting average, expressed as a percentage.
So, the probability of Phil getting a hit his next time at bat is 62.5%.
