Answer 1

Answer:

His slugging average is 0.551.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slugging average:

Sum of:

Singles multiplied by 1.

Doubles multiplied by 2.

Triples by 3.

Home runs by 4.

Divided by:

Number of at bats.

This player:

190 hits(singles + doubles + triples + homeruns)

His number of singles is:

190 - (50+4+31) = 190 - 85 = 105

His slugging average is given by:

$S=\frac{1\ast105+2\ast50+3\ast4+4\ast31}{619}=\frac{105+100+12+124}{619}=0.551$

His slugging average is 0.551.
