How is a batter's batting average calculated? Does anyone know the formula that is used to calculate a batter's batting average?? Thanks (RED SOX ARE NUMBER 1!!) FYI "Patrick", STD's have nothing to do with baseball. And I asked about BATTING averages, last time I checked BATTING averages were not covered in high school math. "Patrick": so no one contracts HIV from heterosexual contact, why don't you ask you "doctor" friend about these stats...and it takes one to know one.. "Around 47% of all people diagnosed with AIDS were probably infected with HIV through male-to-male sexual contact, while people exposed through heterosexual contact comprise around 17% of the total. Since the beginning of the epidemic, the number of heterosexual infections has increased dramatically. According to CDC estimates, heterosexual contact led to about one third of new AIDS diagnoses and one third of new HIV diagnoses in 2005."

how do you calculate the slugging average? how bout the batting average? and can someone please send me some links to the rosters of as many teams as they can? it would be pretty darn cool.

who knows how to get the batting average? i dont know how to calculate the batting average. can you help me?

How do I exactly calculate a baseball players OBP% (on base percentage) ? 1a) I would like to know which of a players offensive numbers are used in calculating his on base percentage? 1b) Also how exactly do I calculate the numbers once I have them, do I also divide like when calculating a players batting average?

Physics problem about how to calculate average force? A 0.145kg baseball pitched at 39.0m/s on a horizontal line drive straight back toward the pitcher at 52.0m/s If the contact time between the bat and ball is .003 seconds, calculate the average force between the bat and the ball during contact. Based on what I could figure out, I got (.145x52)-(.145x39), or 7.54-5.655=1.885 Divide that by .003 seconds and that equals 628.33N, which I thought was the average force, but the book is telling me the answer should be 4400N Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Why are people on here so quick to judge? So get this, I answered a question about HIV, and this guy that had also answered the question claimed that people can't get HIV through heterosexual contact. He later found a question I had asked (about calculating batting averages) and called me stupid because I asked the question...excuse me but some people are better in some fields then others and how is someone supposed to learn if they don't ask?

does anyone know who founded batting averages, and how they are used to place baseball players? I'm doing a project on batting averages, and I've looked everywhere and I can't find out who founded batting averages,(who is responsible for “inventing” batting averages), or how batting averages are used to place baseball players I know what batting averages are and how to calculate them. I just do not know who founded it or how they are used to place the players. Can someones who knows there baseball stuff help me please =] Thanks

How do you do this math problem? This problem makes no sense to me...how would you do it? "In baseball, a player's batting average is calculated by dividing his number of hits by his number of at bats. The number is given to the thousandths place. If early in the season I go to an Indians game and the first time Hafner comes to bat it says his batting average is .200, he gets a hit, and then when he comes to bat it says his batting average is .250. If he strikes out during that at bat, what will be his batting average the next time he comes to bat?"

How would I do this in Pseudocode? I don't even know where to start, any assistance will be appreciated.? Write the pseudocode for the manager of the Jeter County softball team, who wants to compute batting averages for his players. A batting average is computed as hits divided by atbats, and is usually expressed to three decimal positions (for example, .235). The program should prompt the user for a player jersey number, the number of hits, and the number of atbats. The program should calculate the batting average. Once calculated, the program should print “excellent hitter”, the jersey number, the batting average, number of at-bats and number of hits for all players with a batting average greater than .400. For all other players, the program should print the players jersey number and batting average. The program accepts players continuously until 0 is entered for the jersey number. Use appropriate modules, including one that displays “End of job” after the sentinel is entered for the jersey number. Hint: You should read the jersey number in the housekeeping module.

Can someone help me with this MS Excel assignment? I have this assignment I procrastinated on, trying to get it figured out an hour before class is no good. It's in excel and shouldn't be too hard, but i'm short on time and need some quick help. Here is the problem: You are to create a spreadsheet to store information about baseball players (enter at least 10-15 names [make them up]). Your spreadsheet will allow a user to enter the number of times the player batted, the number of singles, doubles, triples and homeruns the player had. Your spreadsheet will need to calculate the batting average for each player. Your spreadsheet will total the number of singles, doubles, triples and homeruns for all players. It will also give the combined batting average of all players. Somewhere on the worksheet you will display minimum number of singles from all players, the average number of triples from all players and the highest number of homeruns from all players. How do I calculate the batting average for each player and the combined batting average? Or if someone wouldn't mind whipping a spreadsheet up (for example or not) that would be AWESOME. My email is open!

Help with probability problem? First, I am not one of those kids who go on for homework answers. Math is one of my hardest subjects. So if someone could explain to me how to do it, that would be great. The first professional baseball team was created in Cincinnati in 1869. It dominated its non-professional opponents, winning 130 consecutive games. The team's shortstop had a 0.305 batting average. A batting average is calculated by dividing hits by times at bat. A batting average can be thought of as a probability. Using 0.305 as the probability that the shortstop would get a hit on ANY particular time at bat, which of the choices is the probability that he would get a hit on TWO consecutive times at bat?

If you know how to do either one of these problems could you please respond, explaining how they are done. Thanks SO MUCH!

Please help with Slugging Pct.? I understand how we arrive at, or calculate, the slugging percentage, but I'm unclear on what it specifically tells me. In other words, what does it predict about a batter's performance? If a hitter's batting average is .401, he is likely to get a hit 40% of the time he steps to the plate. So in the same vein, if a batter's slugging percentage is .600, what does that signify exactly?

Physics problem help? A batter swings a bat with an average angular acceleration of 27 rad/s2 over 0.3 seconds. The bat has a mass of 0.08 kg. Calculate the angular velocity of the bat. I cannot figure out how to solve this problem, please help

I don't know how to find the angle for this momentum problem? A 0.145-kg baseball pitched horizontally at 37.0 m/s strikes a bat and is popped straight up to a height of 37.0 m. If the contact time between bat and ball is 2.5 ms, calculate (a) the magnitude of the average force between the ball and bat during contact, and (b) the direction of the average force on the ball. For part a, I used the impulse equation and got Favg=2146i+1562j, then using the pythagorean theorem, I found the magnitude of the average F to be 2700N, which, according to my homework site, is the correct answer. For part b, I figured that I could get the angle by calculating tan^-1(1562/2146), which comes out to 36˚. According to my homework site though, this solution is incorrect. The label next to the answer box says, "degrees from the initial direction of motion of the ball," and I'm wondering if this is why my answer is wrong? Thank you in advance for your help!

College Statistics problem.? In major league baseball, American League teams play their games with the designated hitter rule, meaning that pitchers do not bat. The American League believes that replacing the pitcher, traditionally a weak hitter, with another player in the batting order produces more runs and generates more interest among the fans. Below are the average number of runs scored per game by both teams in American League and National League stadiums in the first half of the 2001 season (note that there are 14 teams in the American League and 16 teams in the National League). American League 11.1 10.3 9.4 10.8 10.1 9.3 9.0 10.8 10.0 9.2 8.3 10.3 9.5 9.2 National League 14.0 10.2 9.5 8.3 11.6 9.5 9.1 8.2 10.4 9.5 8.8 8.1 10.3 9.5 8.4 7.9 Do the data suggest that the American League's designated hitter rule results in more runs per game? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test at significance level α = .05 and answer the questions below (in all questions below calculate sample means and sample standard deviations to 3 decimal places; use 23 degrees of freedom to determine the rejection region in question 2, to bound the P-value in question 3 and to calculate confidence intervals in questions 5 and 6). Question 1. What is the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis test? 1.______? Question 3. Use this t-table to place a lower bound on the P-value (use 23 degrees of freedom). 3 P-value (lower bound) Question 4. How strong is the evidence from the data that the designated hitter rule generates more runs per game? 4 __There is no evidence to support the claim that the designated hitter rule generates more runs per game. __There is evidence that the National League scores more runs per game than the American League. __There is evidence to support the claim that the designated hitter rule generates more runs per game. __There is evidence that the American League scores more runs per game than the National League. . Question 5. Use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the difference between the mean number of runs scored per game in the American League and National League (use 23 degrees of freedom). 5 lower bound of interval ___? 6 upper bound of interval ___? Coors Field in Denver, Colorado is the home stadium of the Colorado Rockies, a National League team. Coors Field is a mile above sea level, an altitude much greater than that of any other major league baseball stadium. Some believe that the thinner air makes it harder for pitchers to throw curve balls and easier for batters to hit home runs. Question 6. Since it is quite a bit larger than the other National League data values, omit from the National League data the 14 runs scored per game at Coors Field, then calculate the mean and standard deviation of the remaining 15 National League data values. Use the new National League mean and standard deviation mean to determine a 95% confidence interval to estimate the difference between the mean number of runs scored per game in the American League and National League (use 23 degrees of freedom). 7 lower bound of interval _____? 8 upper bound of interval _____?

desperate physics homework help needed :)? so after frantically studying for my physics exam with a set of problems assigned by the teacher, i realized i can't do about half of them. This is not good! any of these you guys can help answer would be amazing thank you A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 26.8 m tall building. The ball's initial speed is 12 m/s. At the same instant, a person is running on the ground at a distance of 29.8 m from the building. What must be the average speed of the person if he is to catch the ball at the bottom of the building? A person looking out the window of a stationary train notices that raindrops are falling vertically down at a speed of 3.5 m/s relative to the ground. When the train moves at a constant velocity, the raindrops make an angle of 38° when they move past the window. How fast is the train moving? To hoist himself into a tree, a 68.5 kg man ties one end of a nylon rope around his waist and throws the other end over a branch of the tree. He then pulls downward on the free end of the rope with a force of 382 N. Neglect any friction between the rope and the branch, and determine the man's upward acceleration. A roller coaster at an amusement park has a dip that bottoms out in a vertical circle of radius r. A passenger feels the seat of the car pushing upward on her with a force equal to four times her weight as she goes through the dip. If r = 23.5 m, how fast is the roller coaster traveling at the bottom of the dip? A computer is reading data from a rotating CD-ROM. At a point that is 0.032 m from the center of the disc, the centripetal acceleration is 115 m/s2. What is the centripetal acceleration at a point that is 0.058 m from the center of the disc? A pitcher throws a 0.140 kg baseball, and it approaches the bat at a speed of 45.0 m/s. The bat does Wnc = 80.0 J of work on the ball in hitting it. Ignoring air resistance, determine the speed of the ball after the ball leaves the bat and is 25.0 m above the point of impact. A 56.0 kg. skateboarder starts out with a speed of 1.80 m/s. He does +80.0 J of work on himself by pushing with his feet against the ground. In addition, friction does -265 J of work on him. In both cases, the forces doing the work are nonconservative. The final speed of the skateboarder is 6.15 m/s. (a) Calculate the change (ΔPE = PEf - PE0) in the gravitational potential energy. explanations would be fantastic as well thank you so much!!

Where do the profits, I mean donations from churches end up? This is something I have been wondering for a while now. I decided to get out the old calculator and do some calculations. For the purposes of this excercise, we will omit the wealthy 1% of the population. Also, we will omit all other religious divisions and focus on the big one, Christianity. Middle class income averages 24k-35k per year If your following the teachings of JC and other "bible scholars" 10% is the amount you should "tithe" Say the average is 30k, well 10% of 30k is 3k For the sake of making this point fairly obvious we will do 2 things. 1. Assume that everyone in the middle class belonging to a church will donate (which I know is a broad assumption). 2. Assume that everyone in the middle class gives about 5% or half what is "required". So $1500.00 per person per year. Well right off the bat this seems like a bit of an investment, after all my water bill for a year is about $1200.00 so already it would be more expensive to believe in a "god" that it is to get water. But thats just one person you say? Yeah just one person. Lets use a very conservative number like 1 million christians tithe 5% of their income every year. So, $1500.00 x 1,000,000 = 1,500,000,000.......... wait wait wait. Am I calculating this right, 1.5 billion? So 1.5 billion dollars of tax free money is "tithed" to churches every year? With my estimates only having 1 million christians tithing only 5% of the yearly income.... Honestly, I had not done any calculations prior to typing this question. I am now speechless and dumbfounded at how corrupt religion really is. I thought it was odd that 10-50 million dollar "houses of god" spring up daily around the country. In response to the first two answers received, why is it corrupt? Well, with my considerably underestimated estimate, this means that given our current economic crisis, 1.5 billion dollars worth of tax could be seen as a good thing. The second response, 40% to Africa? Really? Seems like that is a far cry from helping out our country. If you wanted to end suffering in the world why dont you start by recognizing that it is religion that created it in the first place. The third response, Yes, it costs money to run a house of god, as we all know "faith" wont pay the bills. In my own city I witnessed the construction of a 13.5 million dollar church building no more than 10 miles from the homeless shelter and soup kitchen that is practically bankrupt. Yes, televangelists do make millions because of the blind stupidity of others, but oddly enough they are still at the forefront of christianity. They can sleep at night knowing that "faith" or "blind stupidity" will hold it all together for them, and since the way they operate is opposite of a christian, then they cant possibly be christian themselves. So they probably sleep pretty well. If every religion claims to be the way to salvation then christians only have about a 17% chance of being right above religions that have existed for hundreds or thousands of years longer than christianity. Scrapbook...... Your math is similar to that of the Bush administrations math, "fuzzy". I am not even going to pick it apart because well if 250 million Americans had saved that 5% in the form of savings accounts instead of giving it to the tax free castles around the US we would'nt be in knee deep in donkey poo.

How do they calculate career batting averages.......................? i been thinking about this for a while. Is batting average for a career calculated by adding up the all seasons separately and then by dividing it by the number of seasons for each batting average, OR is it all calculated by at bats and plate appearances regardless of what season its in? for example. lets say you played for 5 full seasons of 162 games each and then retired after the first game of the last season. and it was like this season 1 : 350 batting average season 2 : 225 batting average season 3 : 385 batting average season 4 : 210 batting average season 5 : 295 batting average season 6 : 0 batting average (played only one game and didnt get a hit or reach base. if you calculate them including the season with the 0 you get a 244.1 batting average. WHAT IF season 5 you played with a 163 game and didnt get a hit or reach base and the 0 season wasnt added but you still had the same amount of hits and plate appearances and at bats. If the career batting average didnt separate seasons by averaging them together, the batting average could have been significantly higher at 292 or 293. Would it still be that much lower by having a zero season with only one game than it would if that last season had one extra game in it? ??? HOW IS IT CALCULATED.

Joe DiMaggio's Batting Record... Question is in the detail...? Joe Dimaggio, one of the longest standing records in sports is the 56-game hitting streak (in baseball). Assume that a player on a long "hot streak" is batting about .400, which is about the best that anyone ever hits over a period of about 50 or more games. (A batting average of .400 means the batter gets a hit 40% of the time. Typically, only a handful of players each year hit that well for a period of time as long as his. Question A. What is the probability that a player batting .400 will get at least one hit in four at-bats? Question B. Use the result in part A to calculate the probability of a .400 hitter getting a hit in 56 consecutive games, assuming four at-bats per game. Question C. Suppose that, instead of batting .400 a player has a more ordinary average of .300. In that case, what is the probability f the player getting a hit in 56 consecutive games, assuming four at-bats per game? Question D. Considering the results in part B and C and the face that baseball has been played for about 100 years, are you surprised that someone set a record of hitting 56 consecutive games? Explain Clearly. Thats it I would appreciate any help on parts A,B,C,D... Thanks guy you are all so incredibly helpful!!

Anybody know where I can find the standard deviations for baseball statistics for the 2005 season? This is for a statistics project.

can anyone figure this out? The first professional baseball team was created in Cincinnati in 1869. It dominated its non-professional opponents, winning 130 consecutive games. The team's shortstop had a 0.305 batting average. A batting average is calculated by dividing hits by times at bat. A batting average can be thought of as a probability. Using 0.305 as the probability that the shortstop would get a hit on ANY particular time at bat, which of the choices is the probability that he would get a hit on TWO consecutive times at bat?

Baseball Scoring question.? A batter hits the ball to the shortstop who boots it for an error. The batter's batting average is calculated as if the shortstop made the play. His average goes down. His hit count stays the same. The same player hits a foul ball which is dropped by the first baseman, for an error. The batter, during the same at bat, hits a home run. What happens to his average? and home run count? It is an unearned run, as the batter should have been retired. Shouldn't his average go down and home run count stay the same?

What exactly are bowling averages in cricket? Hi guys every one is aware of batting strike rates and batting averages, and how they are calculated. Many people ok atleast some people even though are aware of bowling averages, bowling strike rates and bowling economies but how they would be calculated is completely different thing from the batting calculations point of view. Let us see. Let us say bowling average of particular bowler is 15.0, It means for every 15.0 runs the bowler takes a wicket which is a good average, that is bowling average= no of runs given/no of wickets taken, Eg: Bowling average= 60 runs / 4 wickets in a match which implies bowling average =15 runs per wicket. The lesser the Average the good the bowler is. For more information visit http://www.questioncricket.com/Bowling_Statistics.html
