Question

Updated Batting Averages are computed using the formula:
A = quantity of B plus K all over G

A = batting average
B = times at bat multiplied by player’s seasonal average
K = hits in the new game
G = times at bat plus times at bat in a new game
Solve A = quantity of B plus K all over G for K. Please show your work. (6 points)
Use your new formula and the values given in the table below to find the player’s hits in a new game (K). Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (4 points)
Batter
George 0.319 10.7 46
Jose 0.320 11.4 45
Dale 0.298 12.3 52
Michael 0.337 15.2 48

Answer 1

George (A) 0.319 (B) 10.7 (G) 46 (K)?
Jose (A) 0.320 (B) 11.4 (G) 45
ect....

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure the answers are:
George 4
Jose 3
Dale 3
Michael 1

Answer 3

1) Solve A = quantity of B plus K all over G for K.

A = ( B + K ) / G
A * G = B + K
K = A * G - B


2) Use your new formula and the values given in the table below to find the player’s hits in a new game (K).

Let A = batting average
Let B = times at bat multiplied by player’s seasonal average
Let G = times at bat plus times at bat in a new game

Let K = hits in the new game

It is hard to make out the table, but I will presume the following:
Player: George
A = 0.319
B = 10.7
G = 46

Solving for K:
K = A * G - B
K = (0.319)(46) - 10.7
K = 14.674 - 10.7
K = 3.974
Rounded to the nearest whole number, K = 4
----> George's hit in the a new game is 4.

Player: Jose:
A = 0.320
B = 11.4
G = 45

Solving for K:
K = A * G - B
K = (0.320)(45) - 11.4
K = 14.4 - 11.4
K = 3
----> Jose's hits in a new game is 3.

Player Dale:
A = 0.298
Solving for K:
K = A * G - B
K = (0.298)(52) - 12.3
K = 15.496 - 12.3
K = 3.196
Rounded to the nearest whole number, K = 3
----> Dale's hit in the a new game is 3.

Player Michael
A = 0.337
B = 15.2
G = 48

Solving for K:
K = A * G - B
K = (0.337)(48) - 15.2
K = 16.176 - 15.2
K = 0.976
Rounded to the nearest whole number, K = 1
----> Michael's hit in the a new game is 1.
