Over the past 6 seasons, one baseball player's batting averages were 0. 247, 0.317, 0.247, 0.327, 0.317, and 0.312. A second player's batting averages were 0.255, 0.345, 0.265, 0.261, 0.267, and 0.358. What are the range and mean of each player's batting averages?

Find the range and mean of the second player's batting averages.
The range is
The mean is
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
To find the range of the second player's batting averages, we subtract the lowest value from the highest value:
0.358 - 0.255 = 0.103.
To find the mean of the second player's batting averages, we add all the values and divide by the number of values:
(0.255 + 0.345 + 0.265 + 0.261 + 0.267 + 0.358) / 6 = 0.276.
So, the range of the second player's batting averages is 0.103 and the mean is 0.276.
To compare the players' batting skills, we also need to find the range and mean of the first player's batting averages.
