1. Problem Description

The problem states that Jon's experimental probability of striking out at baseball is 13%. We need to find out how many times Jon will strike out in 30 times at bat.

2. Solution Steps

We are given the probability of striking out as 13%, which can be written as a decimal by dividing by 100:
13%=13100=0.1313\% = \frac{13}{100} = 0.13.
To find the number of times Jon will strike out in 30 at-bats, we multiply the probability of striking out by the total number of at-bats:
Number of strikeouts = Probability of striking out ×\times Number of at-bats
Number of strikeouts =0.13×30= 0.13 \times 30
Number of strikeouts =3.9= 3.9
Since we're looking for an approximate number of times, we round 3.9 to the nearest whole number, which is
4.

3. Final Answer

Jon will strike out about 4 times.
