Question

David Ortiz with the Boston Red Sox had the following stats one year: Singles – 82, Doubles – 48, Triples – 1, Home Runs – 38, At Bats – 537

What was his batting average? 
b.  What was his slugging average?



Expert Solution
Step 1

Define,

s = number of singles = 82

d = number of doubles = 48

t = number of triples = 1

hr = number of home runs = 38

AB = number of at bats = 537

Therefore, total number of hits , h = s+d+t+hr = 82+48+1+38 = 169

Now, Batting Average is given by, 

Avg. = Total hitsTotal at bats = hAB

And, Slugging average is given by,

slug avg = 1×s+2×d+3×t+4×hrtotal at bats
