Quick comprehension check
“A baseball player has a batting average of 0.300. If they have 5 at-bats in a game, what is the probability they get exactly 2 hits? A coin is flipped 8 times. What is the probability of getting exactly 3 heads? A multiple-choice quiz has 10 questions, each with 4 possible answers. If a student guesses randomly on every question, what is the probability they get exactly 4 questions correct?”
