Question

miguel cabrera has had 369 at bats, and he has 127 hits and 21 home runs. (note: the home runs are included in the hits data.) if he is challenged to a batting battle, what is the expected score of each at bat if he earns 1 point for each hit that is not a home run and 5 points for each home run?

○ 0.36
○ 0.43
○ 0.57
○ 0.63

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate non-home run hits

$127 - 21 = 106$

Step2: Compute total points

$(106 \times 1) + (21 \times 5) = 106 + 105 = 211$

Step3: Find expected score per at bat

$\frac{211}{369} \approx 0.57$

Answer:

0.57
