Question

Anna, Beth and Colleen are softball players. This season, Anne had 65 base hits in 160 at-bats. Beth batting average was 0.399, and Colleen hit safely 40% of the time. Who was the best hitter?

Answer 1

Answer:

Anne is the best hitter as she has the best hitting average of 0.406

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne hits 65 bases out of 160 at - bats.

Beth's betting average = 0.399

Collin's hit = 40%

Now, we need to convert all the three hitting rates into same parameters to compare them with each other.

Average hit rate of Anne = $\frac{\textrm{Total numberof base}}{\textrm{Total number of at - bats}}$

$= \frac{65}{160} = 0.406$

⇒The betting average of Anne = 0.406

Now, The hit - rate of Collin = 40%

Converting the percentage rate into decimal, we get the hit rate of Collin

= $\frac{40}{100} = 0.40$

Hence, we get that Hitting Average of :

Anne = 0.406,  Beth = 0.3999 and Collin = 0.400

Hence, from the above data Anne is the best hitter as she has the best hitting average of 0.406.
