The lengths of major league baseball games are approximately normally distributed and average 2 hours and 50.1 minutes (170.1 minutes), with a population standard deviation of 18 minutes. It has been claimed that New York Yankee baseball games last, on the average, longer than the games of the other major league teams. To test the truth of this statement, a sample of eight Yankee games were randomly identified and the "time of the game" (in minutes) for each obtained. 199...

Your boss was unsure of the variance associated with the population parameter and had no knowledge of the level of confidence associate with the measure. But, the degree of accuracy was deemed to...

Option #1: Batting The batting average of a baseball player is the number of “hits” divided by the number of “at-bats.” Recently, a certain major league player’s at-bats and corresponding hits were recorded for 200 consecutive games. The consecutive games span more than one season. Since each game is different, the number of at-bats and hits both vary. For this particular player, there were from zero to five at-bats. Thus, one can sort the 200 games into six categories: 0...
