Thank You bobpursley

To find the average for a 5-man baseball team, you would calculate the total hits for all the players and divide that by the total number of at-bats for the team.

Here's a step-by-step process to find the average:
1. Obtain the number of hits each player has individually. Let's assume you have the following data: Player 1 has 10 hits, Player 2 has 8 hits, Player 3 has 12 hits, Player 4 has 6 hits, and Player 5 has 9 hits.
2. Find the total number of hits by adding up the individual hits: 10 + 8 + 12 + 6 + 9 = 45 hits.
3. Determine the total number of at-bats for the team. This information should be provided separately. Let's assume the team has a total of 100 at-bats.
4. Divide the total hits by the total at-bats: 45 hits / 100 at-bats = 0.45 (or 45%).

Therefore, the team's batting average would be 0.45 (or 45%). You do not add up individual averages and divide by the number of players to find the team average. Instead, you add up the total hits and divide by the total at-bats for the team.
