Question

Write the symbols for the probability that a player is an outfielder and is a great hitter.

Short answer

The symbols$\mathrm{P}[\mathrm{O}\cap \mathrm{H}]$that represent the likelihood of a player being an outfielder and a terrific hitter.

Step-by-step solution

Given

The following information is provided in the given question:

There are infielders and outfielders on a baseball team. Some players are excellent hitters, while others are not so good.

Explanation

The quiz asks you to write the symbols for an outfielder who is also a terrific batter.

As we can see, it is talking about "AND." In such case, we use the symbol "Intersection," written as " n," which signifies that it is present in both occurrences or, to put it another way, it is common to both.

Weemployaformulatodeterminetheprobability,suchas$\mathrm{P}[\mathrm{O}\cap \mathrm{H}]$.

Where A and B are two occurrences, $P[A\cap B]=P\left(A\right)+P\left(B\right)-P(A\cup B)$.

When events A and B are independent of one another, the intersection between them is zero $P[A\cap B]=P\left(A\right)\times P\left(B\right)$. When events A and B are mutually exclusive, the intersection between them is zero $P[A\cap B]=0.$
