Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the probability that the utility infielder has three or more hits, we need to sum the probabilities for all outcomes where the number of hits is 3 or greater.

P(X ≥ 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.03 + 0.10 + 0.02 = 0.15

Therefore, the probability that the utility infielder has three or more hits is 0.15 or 15%.

The best choice is D.
