Answer 1

To determine the person most likely to get a hit, you will compare their ratios of hits to total at bats and see who has the highest ratio. This will make them more likely next to get a hit next time.

Mica: 8/48 = 1/6 (0.1666...)
Joan: 12/40 = 3/10 (0.3)

Joan is more likely to get a hit.
