ted to using performance enhancing steroids that sea-
son. Even so, how did McGwire’s performance really
compare to Maris’s? The league was very different in
1998 than in 1961. The table below shows the mean and
standard deviations for the number of home runs scored
by all players with at least 502 plate appearances in their
respective seasons. Use these to determine who’s home
run feat was more impressive.

A question that is often asked is, "If they're all supposed to do the same thing, why is there more than one?" Isn't one enough? In this exercise, you will be given two small sets of data. For each set, a. find the mean, median, mode and midrange b. in your opinion, decide which of the measures BEST represents all the values in the set (best indicates a typical value), and which one does this the WORST. c. post your responses and justify them by explaining why Don't forget to respond to at least one of your classmate's posts. With this exercise, "more is better."

- Suppose that 10 students have taken an exam and that the mean and median scores are both 60. (Since 10 is an even number you can assume that two scores in the middle are both 60.) Two more students take it and one scores 70 and the other scores 26. If these students are now included, what is the new mean? What is the new median?arrow_forwardThe number of goals for each of a hockey player's seasons is given in the following figure.
