Number of times at bat = 120
The formula to find the player's batting average is given by :-
[tex]\text{Player's batting average}=\dfrac{\text{Number of hits}}{\text{Number of times player at bat}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Player's batting average}=\dfrac{26}{120}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Player's batting average}=0.216666666667\approx0.217\ \ \text{[ Rounded to the nearest thousandth]}[/tex]
Hence, the player's batting average = 0.217
