What is Mark’s slugging average if his stats are- (25 singles 10 doubles 3 triples 10 homeruns 140 at-bats)?

a. 25(1) + 10(2) + 3(3) + 10(4) = 94/140 = .671

b. 25(.1) + 10(.2) + 3(.3) + 10(.4) = 9.40/140 = .06714

c. 25 + 10 + 3 + 10 = 48/140 = .3428

d. 25 + 10(2) + 3(3) + 10(3) = 84/140 = .600



Compare the slugging averages of Mark and Jay. Jay’s slugging average if his stats are-(10 singles 6 doubles 5 triples 14 homeruns 90 at-bats) Mark’s slugging average if his stats are- (25 singles 10 doubles 3 triples 10 homeruns 140 at-bats).

a. Mark’s average = Jay’s average

b. Mark’s average < Jay’s average

c. Jay’s average < Mark’s average

d. Jay’s average + Mark’s average = 1.7893

Answer 1

1. a. 25(1) + 10(2) + 3(3) + 10(4) = 94/140 = .671

2. b. Mark’s average < Jay’s average

Explanation:

1. What is Mark’s slugging average?

The slugging average gives more weight to the multi-base hits (compared to single-base hits) in opposition with the batting average.

So, a single hit is worth 1 point, a double is worth 2 points, a triple 3 points and a homerun is worth 4 points. It's a weighted average calculation.

Mark had 25 singles, 10 doubles, 3 triples and 10 homeruns during 140 presences 140 at bat.

25(1) + 10(2) + 3(3) + 10(4) = 94/140 = .671

2. How does Mark's average compares to Jay's?

Let's first calculate Jay's slugging average then we'll be able to decide.

Jay had 10 singles, 6 doubles, 5 triples and 14 homeruns in 90 presences.

10 (1) + 6 (2) + 5 (3) + 14 (4) = 10+12+15+56 = 93 / 90 = 1.033

We can definitely say that Mark's slugging average (0.671) calculated above is lower than Jay's average (1.033). So,

b. Mark’s average < Jay’s average
