John Smith, a baseball player, throws three types of pitches; fastball (FB), curveball (CB) and slider (SL). He throws a fastball 45% of the time, a curveball 28% of the time, and a slider the rest of the time. About 72% of the fastballs are strikes, 70% of the curveballs are strikes, and only 32% of the sliders are strikes. Let S represent a strike and NS represent not a strike.

b) What is the probability (to 4 decimal places) that Smith throws a fastball and not a strike?

A baseball player is 98m away from home plate when he throws the ball at a 30° angle above horizontal from a height of 1.45 m (the height of his hand). a. What is the initial speed of the throw for the ball to land exactly on home plate? In order to solve this problem, set up equations for x and y position vs time. Put in all known values. You will have two remaining unknowns: v0(the magnitude of the...
