Question 11 • Algebra II

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?

Answer
A
0 point 4 3
B
0 point 3 6
C
0 point 5 7
D
0 point 6 3

Explanation

Of Miguel’s 127 hits, 21 were home runs, so he had 127 − 21 = 106 other hits. His total points would be 106 × 1 + 21 × 5 = 211. Divide by 369 at bats: 211 ÷ 369 ≈ 0.57 point per at bat, which is choice C, 0.57 point.
