In-Class Activity 8

Exercise 1

If a baseball team’s OBP is 0.361 and SLG is 0.409, how many runs do we expect the team to score?

#RS = Intercept + OBP + SLG
RS = -804.63 + 2737.77*0.361 + 1584.91*0.409
RS

[1] 831.9332

We expect the team to score between 831 and 832 runs.

Exercise 2

If a baseball team’s opponents OBP (OOBP) is 0.267 and opponents SLG (OSLG) is 0.392, how many runs do we expect the team to allow?

#RA = Intercept + slope1*OOBP + slope2*OSLG
RA = -804.63 + 2913.60*0.267 + 1514.29*0.392
RA

[1] 566.9029

We expect the team to score between 566 and 567 runs.
