This probability distribution shows the typical distribution of pitches thrown to a batter in a given at bat in a baseball game. Find the probability that the pitcher will throw fewer than 3 pitches to a batter.

0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability distribution is shown below:

Pitch                   1            2        3          4         5

Frequency         15         20      40        15        10

Probability         0.15     0.2      0.4      0.15      0.1

The probability that the pitcher will throw fewer than 3 pitches to a batter = P(X < 3)

X  is the number of pitches thrown. Therefore:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 1) or P(X = 2)

The additive rule pf probability states that if two events X and Y are dependent events, the probability of X or Y occurring is the sum of their individual probability.

P(X < 3) = P(X = 1) or P(X = 2) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.15 + 0.2 = 0.35

The probability that the pitcher will throw fewer than 3 pitches to a batter = 0.35
