The following tables list the numbers of home runs hit by the leaders in the National and American Leagues. (A graphing calculator is recommended.) Home Run Leaders National League 70 42 72 35 52 64 45 55 46 63 59 61 63 62 35 66 36 62 36 54 71 31 33 54 58 65 69 52 35 62 71 38 58 52 American League 57 44 41 57 38 56 42 41 50 56 41 23 54 40 53 28 53 27 22 38 48 40 25 35 39 38 40 44 42 41 29 30 30 31 (a) Find the mean and the population standard deviation of the number of home runs hit by the leaders in the National League. Round each result to the nearest tenth. mean home runs population standard deviation home runs (b) Find the mean and the population standard deviation of the number of home runs hit by the leaders in the American League. Round each result to the nearest tenth. mean home runs population standard deviation home runs (c) Which of the two data sets has the larger mean? National League American League Which of the two data sets has the larger standard deviation? National League American League
