Answer 1

To determine which statements about the data are true, we need to analyze the batting averages of the players mentioned, namely Joey Butler, Craig Gentry, Alexis Rios, Jeffrey Baker, and Adrián Beltré.

Here are the plausible analyses for each statement:

1. Joey Butler had the highest batting average.

   • This can only be confirmed if Joey Butler's average is the highest among the five.

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

   • We need to check if their averages are equal.

3. Jeffrey Baker had the second highest batting average.

   • This is true if, according to the data, he is the second highest.

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

   • This is true if Jeffrey Baker's average is greater than Alexis Rios's average.

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

   • This is true if Adrián Beltré's average is indeed higher than Jeffrey Baker's average.

Without the actual batting averages in front of us, it's impossible to definitively confirm the veracity of these statements. You may want to review the batting averages listed in the original chart. However, typically, you would check the numbers against these statements to see which ones are accurate.

Please check the provided statistics and confirm the three correct statements based on the batting averages listed.
