    0.592

    Explanation:

    the probability that he gets a hit = the probability that he gets a hit off a left handed player multiplied by the proportion of left handed players plus the probability of a hit off a right handed player multiplied by the proportion of right handed players.

    Left Handed = 0.3 x 0.27 = 0.081

    Right handed = 0.7 x 0.73 = 0.511

    Total probability of a hit = 0.081 + 0.511 = 0.592
