Question
Major League Baseball (MLB) consists of teams that play in the American League and the National League. MLB collects a wide variety of team and
player statistics. Some of the statistics often used to evaluate pitching performance are as follows:
• ERA: The average number of earned runs given up by the pitcher per nine innings. An earned run is any run that the opponent scores off a
particular pitcher except for runs scored as a result of errors.
• SO/IP: The average number of strikeouts per inning pitched.
• HR/IP: The average number of home runs per inning pitched.
• R/IP: The number of runs given up per inning pitched.
The following data show values for these statistics for a random sample of 20 pitchers from the American League for one full season.
