The best batters in baseball, who get a hit about three out of every 10 times at bat, are on a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement. This is because the reinforcement (getting a hit) is based on an unpredictable number of responses (at-bats), making it variable, and it is tied to the ratio of responses to reinforcements, hence a ratio schedule.
