Graphing Chipper

Chipper Jones failed to pick up a hit Saturday night, going 0 for 3 with two walks. He's now batting .409 and the 0 for 3 lowered the probability of his hitting .400, as the latest graph of Jones's probability of hitting .400 shows. Chipper's probability of hitting .400 is now 0.00097, or about 1 in 1030. He was better than 1 in 1000 for five dates.

The following table show the kinds of slumps Chipper would need to suffer to lower his BA to .400:
