Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Batting average is calculated by dividing the number of hits by the number of at bats. So, batting average = 176/478 = 0.367 ~ 0.368 (rounded to the nearest thousandth). Therefore, the best choice is C. Batting Average = Hits/At-bats

Substituting the given values:

Batting Average = 176/478

Calculating the decimal value to the nearest thousandth:

Batting Average ≈ 0.368

Therefore, the best choice is C with the decimal value rounded to the nearest thousandth.
