There is no information on the relevant theoretical basis for estimating the probability: only an empirical or experimental, basis.
The batting average is the percent of times a batter gets a successful hit per official times at bat. It is determined by dividing the hits by the times at bat, i. e. times at bat 10; hits 3. 3 divided by 10 gives you a .300 batting average, or the batter gets a hit 30% of the times he has an official at bat. Base on balls (walks), sacrifice hits, sacrifice flies, hit by pitch ball, and catcher interference do not count as an official at bat.
Probability is a number in the range [0, 1]. The question gives a probability (240) which is way outside this range and so is not valid.
Plate appearances is the total number of times a player has stood at the plate ... regardless of outcome. At-bats are counted when a batter either scores an 'out' or scores a 'hit'. If the batter receives a Base-on-balls, hit by pitch, or reaches base as the result of an error or Fielder's choice, it doesn't count as an at-bat. Batting average is figured as hits/at-bats. On-base percentage is figured as #of times on base / plate appearances This answer is wrong... If the batter reaches base as a result of an error or fielder's choice it still counts as an at bat, if the batter records an out that results in a sacrifice fly it does not count as an at bat. Also a base on balls includes the possibility of hit by pitch in its definition.
The probability is 71/489 = 0.145, approx.
ya if you get hit hard enough.
Used in many sporting games to hit balls
No...it's the same as a Base on Balls.
Base on balls is a walk. So, A girl is up to bat and she gets 4 balls. She goes to first. Her at-bat is now over. And now its time for the on-deck hitter to hit.
In baseball, the bat is used to hit the balls thrown by the pitcher.
If you mean HBP, hit by pitch, no. It counts the same as a BB, base on balls, and does not count as an at bat.
In baseball, there is no specific limit to the number of foul balls a player can hit during a single at-bat. A player can continue to hit foul balls until they either make a fair hit, strike out, or reach the maximum number of strikes allowed. However, if a player hits a foul ball with two strikes, the at-bat continues without penalty.

To play the sport of softball. You can throw, catch (in a glove), or hit them (with a bat).
A shaved bat is a bat that has had material removed from the inside by "shaving" the inner wall. This thins the wall of the bat which causes the ball to leave the bat at higher speeds and giving greater distance to hit balls.
4 pitched balls that are not strikes. runner advances to first base. does not count as an at bat or a hit.
30 inch bat with gyroscopes inside for maximum effectiveness. it also has its own circus and a laser to hit the balls out of the air
