The Baseball data set (in Appendix A and Connect) reports information on the 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams for the 2021 season.
1. In the MLB, each team plays 162 games in a season. A rule-of-thumb is that 90 or more wins in a season qualify a team for the post-season playoffs. To summarize the 2021 season, create a frequency table of wins. Start the first class at 40 and use a class interval of 10.
a. What is the probability that a team wins 90 or more games?
b. In the playoffs, only 10 teams can enter the playoffs. Based on the 2021 season, what is the probability that a team that wins 90 or more games makes the playoffs?
c. Make a statement based on your responses to parts (a) and (b).

2. Presently the National League requires that all fielding players, including pitchers, take a turn to bat. In the American League, teams can use a designated hitter (DH) to take the pitcher’s turn to bat. For each league, create a frequency distribution and a relative frequency distribution of teams based on the season total of home runs.
For the frequency distributions, start the first class at 120 home runs and use a class interval of 30.
a. In the American League, what is the probability that a team hits 180 or more home runs?
b. In the National League, what is the probability that a team hits 180 or more home runs?
c. Make statements comparing the two distributions.
