practice

1. adriana is the manager of her high school softball team. she is in charge of equipment as well as recording statistics for each player on the team. the table shows some batting statistics for the four infielders on the team during the first eight games of the season.

player	at bats	hits
mei	32	12
valentina	33	11
emily	35	14

Explanation:

Since the problem is not fully stated (e.g., what is being asked about the batting statistics like calculating batting average, comparing players, etc.), we can't provide a solution yet. If we assume the common question is to calculate the batting average (Hits / At Bats) for each player or find the highest/lowest average, here's how we could proceed for calculating batting averages:

Step1: Recall Batting Average Formula

Batting average is calculated as $\text{Batting Average} = \frac{\text{Hits}}{\text{At Bats}}$.

Step2: Calculate for Angelina

Angelina has 16 Hits and 36 At Bats. So her average is $\frac{16}{36} \approx 0.444$.

Step3: Calculate for Mei

Mei has 12 Hits and 32 At Bats. Her average is $\frac{12}{32} = 0.375$.

Step4: Calculate for Valentina

Valentina has 11 Hits and 33 At Bats. Her average is $\frac{11}{33} \approx 0.333$.

Step5: Calculate for Emily

Emily has 14 Hits and 35 At Bats. Her average is $\frac{14}{35} = 0.4$.

If the question was to find the highest batting average, we compare the averages: Angelina ($\approx 0.444$), Mei ($0.375$), Valentina ($\approx 0.333$), Emily ($0.4$). So Angelina has the highest.

Answer:

If calculating highest batting average, the answer is Angelina with a batting average of approximately 0.444. (But this depends on the actual question asked. Please clarify the question for a precise answer.)

Since the original problem didn't specify the question, we'll note that. If you can provide what is being asked (e.g., find the batting average for a player, find who has the highest/lowest average, total hits, total at bats, etc.), we can give a more accurate solution.
