Anna, beth and colleen are softball players. this season, anne had 65 base hits in 160 at-bats. beth batting average was 0.399, and colleen hit safely 40% of the time. who was the best hitter?

Anne is the best hitter as she has the best hitting average of 0.406

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne hits 65 bases out of 160 at - bats.

Beth's betting average = 0.399

Collin's hit = 40%

Now, we need to convert all the three hitting rates into same parameters to compare them with each other.

Average hit rate of Anne =

⇒The betting average of Anne = 0.406

Now, The hit - rate of Collin = 40%

Converting the percentage rate into decimal, we get the hit rate of Collin

=

Hence, we get that Hitting Average of :

Anne = 0.406,  Beth = 0.3999 and Collin = 0.400

Hence, from the above data Anne is the best hitter as she has the best hitting average of 0.406.
