Answer 1

To determine which statements about the batting averages are true, we need the data that Andre computed, specifically the batting averages of the players mentioned. Without that chart or specific batting average values, I can't definitively validate the statements.

However, based on the context of the statements, here's a possible way to analyze them:

1. Jeffrey Baker had the second highest batting average.

   • Validation depends on the ranking of players' batting averages.

2. Jeffrey Baker’s batting average was higher than Alexis Rios’s.

   • This requires a direct comparison of their batting averages.

3. Joey Butler had the highest batting average.

   • This requires knowing if Joey Butler indeed had the highest average.

4. Adrián Beltré’s batting average was higher than Jeffrey Baker’s.

   • We would need to compare Beltré's average to Baker's.

5. Craig Gentry and Alexis Rios had the same batting average.

   • This would need them to share a value.

To check the truth of each statement accurately, you need to refer to the actual batting averages listed in Andre's chart. Each statement can be verified against that data.

If you can provide the batting averages or clarify any specific averages, I can help confirm which statements are true.

Answer 2

Player Batting Average
Jeffrey baker 0.279
Adrián Beltré 0.315
Joey Butler 0.333
Craig Gentry 0.280
Alexis Rios 0.28

Answer 3

Thank you for providing the batting averages. Based on the data:

• Jeffrey Baker: 0.279
• Adrián Beltré: 0.315
• Joey Butler: 0.333
• Craig Gentry: 0.280
• Alexis Rios: 0.280

Now let's evaluate the statements:

1. Jeffrey Baker had the second highest batting average.

   • False. Joey Butler (0.333) has the highest, followed by Adrián Beltré (0.315), then Jeffrey Baker (0.279).

2. Jeffrey Baker’s batting average was higher than Alexis Rios’s.

   • False. Jeffrey Baker (0.279) is less than Alexis Rios (0.280).

3. Joey Butler had the highest batting average.

   • True. Joey Butler has the highest average of 0.333.

4. Adrián Beltré’s batting average was higher than Jeffrey Baker’s.

   • True. Adrián Beltré (0.315) is higher than Jeffrey Baker (0.279).

5. Craig Gentry and Alexis Rios had the same batting average.

   • False. Craig Gentry (0.280) is higher than Jeffrey Baker (0.279), but is not the same.

Based on the evaluations, the three true statements are:

• Joey Butler had the highest batting average.
• Adrián Beltré’s batting average was higher than Jeffrey Baker’s.

You can select these two statements along with one more, but as analyzed, only one more true statement can be added. So those would be the correct ones. Let me know if you require further assistance!

Answer 5

I apologize for any confusion. Let's go through the statements again carefully and identify three correct ones based on the batting averages you provided:

1. Jeffrey Baker had the second highest batting average.

   • False (He is actually third, with a batting average of 0.279).

2. Jeffrey Baker’s batting average was higher than Alexis Rios’s.

   • False (Jeffrey Baker's average of 0.279 is not higher than Alexis Rios's average of 0.280).

3. Joey Butler had the highest batting average.

   • True (He has an average of 0.333, which is the highest).

4. Adrián Beltré’s batting average was higher than Jeffrey Baker’s.

   • True (Adrián Beltré has a batting average of 0.315, which is higher than Jeffrey Baker's 0.279).

5. Craig Gentry and Alexis Rios had the same batting average.

   • True (Both have a batting average of 0.280).

Based on this analysis, the three true statements are:

• Joey Butler had the highest batting average.
• Adrián Beltré’s batting average was higher than Jeffrey Baker’s.
• Craig Gentry and Alexis Rios had the same batting average.

Thank you for your patience, and I hope this clears up the confusion!
