Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

BA= H/AB

BA = 15/34 = 0.441

But then he gets another hit:

BA = 16/35 = 0.457

The batting average of each player is the number of hits divided by the number of at bats. Average for First player: 34 divided by 102. Average for other player: 24 divided by 96. First player's average is 0.333; that is 33.3% of his times at bat resulted in a hit. Other player's average is 0.243; 24.3% of times at bat resulted in a hit.
