Question

the frequency table below represents the 30 best batting averages for a semi - pro baseball league. which ranges of batting averages were least common among the players?

a. 0.320 - 0.329 and 0.330 - 0.339
b. 0.340 - 0.349 and 0.350 - 0.359
c. 0.320 - 0.329 and 0.360 - 0.369
d. 0.330 - 0.339 and 0.360 - 0.369

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the frequency of each range

We look at the frequency values in the table. The frequencies are:

• For \(0.320 - 0.329\): \(1\)
• For \(0.330 - 0.339\): \(2\)
• For \(0.340 - 0.349\): \(12\)
• For \(0.350 - 0.359\): \(14\)
• For \(0.360 - 0.369\): \(1\)

Step2: Compare the frequencies

We want to find the ranges with the lowest frequencies. The lowest frequency value is \(1\), which corresponds to the ranges \(0.320 - 0.329\) and \(0.360 - 0.369\)

Answer:

C. \(0.320 - 0.329\) and \(0.360 - 0.369\)
