Final answer:
Without additional data on the number of hits that were home runs or predictive models, we cannot determine or predict the number of home runs from the total hits.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of home runs a player had cannot be determined solely by knowing the total number of hits. However, a common misconception is addressed in the provided information, specifically that a home run is indeed a hit, and therefore, a player must have at least as many hits as home runs. Without additional data regarding how many of the hits were home runs, we cannot calculate the exact number of home runs. Likewise, without predictive data or patterns, we cannot accurately predict how many home runs the player was expected to have.
