Answer

$P(E)=\frac{2}{73}\approx0.0274$

Work Step by Step

Sample space: "73 home runs". So, $N(S)=73$. Event = "home run was hit to right field". According to the problem text, 2 home runs went to left field. So, $N(E)=2$. Using the Classical Method: $P(E)=\frac{N(E)}{N(S)}=\frac{2}{73}\approx0.0274$
