Hits or home runs?

Batters can adopt a stance to either improve "home runs" (HR) or "hits" (H). But, they only will increase their "batting average" (AVG) when they focus on "hits" because doing "home runs" is more difficult. Since this relation seems to be negative, we might expect that the "batting average" will decrease as the number of "home runs" increases.

In this exercise, we will test whether this negative relation holds. Combination charts are best used in situations such as where you wish to compare a rate variable and a counting variable over time.
