A baseball player was at bat 33 times during preseason exhibition games. His pattern of hits (H) and nonhits (N) is shown (a nonhit is a walk or a strikeout). At α = .10, is the pattern of hits random?

N H N H H N H N N H N N N N N N N H H N N N H N H N N N N N N N H

(a) The correct null hypotheses is

a.	H₀: Events follow a random pattern
b.	H₁: Events do not follow a random pattern

(b) Calculate the expected number of runs. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Expected value

(c) Calculate the z-score and the p-value. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places. Use expected value and standard deviation rounded to 3 decimal places. Use the formulas in the textbook to determine the z-score, not MegaStat. Use Excel to calculate the p-value.)


z-score
p-value

(d) Do the events follow a random pattern?

Solutions

Expert Solution

it determines null hypothesis and the events follows a random pattern

since, P value < 0.05.

Thank you.

A baseball player at bat hits a ball to the outfield. The baseball is hit when it is at a height of 1.60 m above the home plate. The ball’s velocity the instant it is hit is 34.00 m/s at an angle of exactly 54.00o above the horizontal. The ball lands safely in the outfield. Assume that the entire baseball ground is horizontal. (a) What are the vertical and horizontal components of the ball’s acceleration while it is in the...
