Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Jeter's points

Non - home - run hits for Jeter are (156 - 9=147). Points from non - home - run hits are (147\times1), and points from home runs are (9\times4). Total points (E(Jeter)=\frac{147\times1 + 9\times4}{480}=\frac{147+36}{480}=\frac{183}{480}=0.38125\approx0.38).

Step2: Calculate Pujols's points

Non - home - run hits for Pujols are (125 - 26 = 99). Points from non - home - run hits are (99\times1), and points from home runs are (26\times4). Total points (E(Pujols)=\frac{99\times1+26\times4}{448}=\frac{99 + 104}{448}=\frac{203}{448}\approx0.453\approx0.45).

Answer:

E(Jeter) = 0.38 and E(Pujols) = 0.45, so back Pujols
