Question

BASEBALL For Exercises $36-38$ , use the following information. Albert and Paul are on the school baseball team. Albert has a batting average of $.4,$ and Paul has a batting average of 3 . That means that Albert gets a hit 40$\%$ of his at bats and Paul gets a hit 30$\%$ of his times at bat. What is the probability that- both Albert and Paul are able to get hits their first time at bat?

Key Concepts

Multiplication Rule

The multiplication rule states that if two events are independent, the probability that both events occur is found by multiplying their individual probabilities. This rule is essential for calculating the joint probability of sequential or simultaneous independent events.

Probability

Probability is a branch of mathematics that measures the likelihood or chance of an event occurring, typically expressed as a number between 0 and 1. This foundational concept helps in quantifying uncertainty and making predictions about outcomes in various scenarios.

Independent Events

Independent events are events whose outcomes do not influence one another. When two events are independent, the occurrence of one does not change the probability of the other, which is a key assumption in many probability problems.
