Answer 1

Batting average = 0.382

Explanation:

In the 1918 baseball season Ty cobb had 421 at bats and 161 base hits.

number of bat hits= 161

Number at bats = 421

Batting average =
`(base \ hits)/(at \ bats)`

Plug in the values in the formula

Batting average =
`(161)/(421)=0.382422802`

Now round the answer to three decimal places

Batting average = 0.382
