Answer:

E(Bases ) = 0.6584499955929  choice C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want Expected number of bases during 2009

E(bases) = SUM (number of outcomes) *probabiility of outcome

93 + 45 + 1 + 47   = 176 hits

but there are a total of 568 bats

568 - 176 =   392 misses?

E(Bases) =  0* P( miss) + 1 *  P( hitting singles) + 2*P(hitting doubles) + 3*P(hitting triples) + 4*P(home run)

E(Bases) =  0 + 93/568 +  2* (45/568) + 3*(1/568) + 4*(47/568)

0.16373239  + 0.158450 + 0.0052816901 + 0.33098591549

E(Bases ) = 0.6584499955929

Answer:

C 0.658
