In this unit we investigated whether officials might give favorable treatment to home teams in stressful situations. Do baseball teams strike out less in home games than in road games? Here are the total strikeouts for each American League team at home and on the road in the 2018 regular season. Team Home Road Baltimore Orioles 630 782 Boston Red Sox 600 653 Chicago White Sox 803 791 Cleveland Indians 564 625 Detriot Tigers 621 720 Houston Astros 573 624 Kansas City Royals 600 710 Los Angeles Angels 625 675 Minnesota Twins 640 688 New York Yankees 665 756 Oakland A's 665 716 Seattle Mariners 636 585 Tampa Bay Rays 671 717 Texas Rangers 707 777 Toronto Blue Jays 680 707 Based on the p-value, what conclusion would you make? Because it is likely for American League teams with the same ability to avoid strikeouts at home and on the road to have a difference of 56.4 strikeout or more by random chance alone, there is not convincing evidence that American League teams have a greater ability to avoid strikeouts at home. Because it is unlikely for American League teams with the same ability to avoid strikeouts at home and on the road to have a difference of 56.4 strikeout or more by random chance alone, there is convincing evidence that American League teams have a greater ability to avoid strikeouts at home.
