For the years $1970-1993$ the National League (NL) and the American League (AL) (major league baseball) were each divided into two divisions: East and West. Below are random samples of the number of games won by each league's Eastern Division. At $\alpha=0.05,$ is there sufficient evidence to conclude a difference in the number of wins? $$\begin{array}{l|rrrrrrrrrrr}\text { NL } & 89 & 96 & 88 & 101 & 90 & 91 & 92 & 96 & 108 & 100 & 95 & \\\hline \text { AL } & 108 & 86 & 91 & 97 & 100 & 102 & 95 & 104 & 95 & 89 & 88 & 101\end{array}$$

Listed below are baseball team statistics consisting of the proportions of wins and the result of this difference: Difference $=$ (number of runs scored) - (number of runs allowed). The statistics are from a recent year, and the teams are NY (Yankees), Toronto, Boston, Cleveland, Texas, Houston, San Francisco, and Kansas City. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between the proportion of wins and the above difference? $$\begin{array}{l|ccccccc}\text { Difference } & 163 & 55 & -5 & 88 & 51 & 16 & -214 \\\hline \text { Wins } & 0.599 & 0.537 & 0.531 & 0.481 & 0.494 & 0.506 & 0.383\end{array}$$

There were 2428 Major League Baseball (MLB) games played in 2014, and the home team won 1288 of those games. If we consider the games played in 2014 as a sample of all MLB games, we test to see if there is evidence at the 5% level that the home team wins more than half the games. Show all details of the test. Source: www.betfirm.com/mlb-home-field-advantage. Accessed April 2015. Clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses: H0: p <= 0.5 Ha: p > 0.5

See the relationships among these concepts. The American League standings on September $11,2017,$ are shown in the table on the preceding page. There were 162 regulation games in the 2017 season. Find the magic number for each first-place team. The number of games remaining in the season for the second-place team is calculated as $$ N_{2}=162-\left(W_{2}+L_{2}\right) $$ where $L_{2}$ represents the number of losses for the second-place team. (a) AL East: Boston vs New York (b) AL Central: Cleveland vs Minnesota (c) AL West: Houston vs Los Angeles
