Refer to the Baseball 2018 data, which report information on the 30 Major League Baseball teams for the 2018 season. Consider the following variables: number of wins, payroll, season attendance, whether the team is in the American or National League, and the number of home runs hit.

Prepare a report on the team salaries. Be sure to answer the following questions in your report.

  1. Over the last decade, the mean attendance per team followed a normal distribution with a mean of 2.45 million per team and a standard deviation of .71 million. Compute the mean attendance per team for the 2018 season. Determine the likelihood of a sample mean attendance this large or larger from the population.
  2. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of home runs per team.
  3. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the mean batting average by each team.
  4. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the mean earned run average (ERA) for each team.
  5. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine whether the mean salary of the teams was different from $100.0 million. Use the .05 significance level.
  6. Using a 5% significance level, conduct a test of hypothesis to determine whether the mean attendance was more than 2,000,000 per team.
  7. At the .05 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the mean salary of teams in the American League versus teams in the National League?
  8. At the .05 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the mean home attendance of teams in the American League versus teams in the National
  9. League?
  10. Compute the mean and the standard deviation of the number of wins for the 10 teams with the highest salaries.
    1. Do the same for the 10 teams with the lowest salaries.
    2. At the .05 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of wins for the two groups (highest and lowest salaries)?
    3. At the .05 significance level, is there a difference in the mean attendance for the two groups (highest and lowest salaries)Refer to the Baseball 2018 data, which report
