Explanation:

Step1: Calculate batting averages

Batting average formula: $\text{Batting Average}=\frac{\text{Hits}}{\text{At Bats}}$
For Player 1: $\frac{155}{580}\approx0.267$
For Player 2: $\frac{198}{660}=0.3$
For Player 3: $\frac{140}{500}=0.28$

Step2: Compare with 0.279

Player 1: $0.267<0.279$
Player 2: $0.3>0.279$
Player 3: $0.28>0.279$

Step3: Answer part a

Since $0.3 > 0.279$ and $0.28>0.279$, Player 2 and Player 3 have better - than - example averages.

Step4: Answer part b

Since $0.267<0.279$, Player 1 has a worse - than - example average.

Answer:

a. Player 2 and Player 3
b. Player 1
