Stephanie and Javier wanted to find out what type of baseball bat would hit the ball
farther. Javier thought that a metal bat would hit the ball farther, while Steven
thought the wooden bat would hit the ball farther. The coach said, “Let’s find out
who is right.” The coach had each boy hit 50 balls with the metal bat and 50 balls
with the wooden bat every day during practice for five days. Each day both boys
hit the ball farther using the metal bat. “Ha, ha,” said Javier, “a metal bat does hit
the ball farther.”
