Fantasy Baseball Probability

Students in Mrs. Gabbard’s 7^th grade math class created this spinner for one batter in their Fantasy Baseball Game. Using the statistics given on Joe Slugger’s baseball card, students calculated the outcomes for the player’s next turn at bat and made the areas of the pie chart match the chances of each outcome. Measure the angles on the spinner to answer the following questions:

a) What is the theoretical probability that the batter will get a homerun on his next turn at bat? Show your work and give the answer in fractional form, decimal form, and as a percent.

b) What is the theoretical probability that the batter will not get out on his next turn at bat? Show your work and give the answer in fractional form, decimal form, and as a percent.
