A baseball player hit 62 home runs in a season. Of the 62 home runs, 22 went to right field, 19 went to right center field, 8 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 right field is 0.355. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) The probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to left field is 0.016. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to left field? O A. Yes, because P(left field) < 0.5. O B. No, because this player hit 1 home runs to left field. Oc. Yes, because P(left field) < 0.05. O D. No, because the probability of an unusual event is 0.
