Question:

Show that it is possible for Simpson’s paradox (see Exercise 5.1.23) to occur with two soft ball players. Produce a hypothetical example where one player (Amy) has a higher percentage of hits than another (Barb) in June, and Amy also has a higher percentage of hits than Barb in July. Yet when June and July are combined, Barb has a higher percentage of hits than Amy. (Hints: Be sure to give the two players different numbers of at-bats in the two months, and make one month easier to get a hit than the other.)
