A baseball player hit 62 home runs in a season. Of the 62 home runs, 17 went to right field, 22 went to right center field, 10 went to center field, 12 went to left center field, and 1 went to left field. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field? (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left field? (c) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field? Explain. (a) The probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) The probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left field is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field? O A. No, because this player hit 1 home runs to left field. O B. Yes, because P(left field) < 0.5. OC. No, because the probability of an unusual event is 0. O D. Yes, because P(left field) < 0.05.
