In 1995, Derek Jeter's batting average was 0.250; in 1996, his batting average was 0.314. David Justice's batting average in 199

5 was 0.253 and was
0.321 in 1996. The team statistician claims Jeter's overall average was better than Justice's average. What may make this claim possible?

Answer:

The correct option is;

Simpson Paradox

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenomenon whereby particular trends are prevalent in small data portions but are not evident or an inverse trend is observe when the portions are joined together is known as Simpson's paradox.

Whereby the data for calculating the bating averages as found online are given as follows;

Season,                       Derek Jeter                           David Justice

1995,                           12/48 = 0.250                         104/411 ≈ 0.253

1996,                           183/582 ≈ 0.314                      45/140 ≈ 0.321

The overall hits to the overall bats ratio are;

,         (183 + 12)/(582 + 48) ≈0.310   (104+45)/(411+140) = 0.27

Which shows that  Derek Jeter's overall average was better than Justice's average

Given RT below, if S lies on RT such that the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, find the coordinates of S.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

S(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached below,=. Frim the diagram, the coordinate of R and T are (-5, 3) and (-1, -5) respectively. If the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, the coordinate of S can be gotten using the midpoint segment formula as shown;

S(X, Y) = {(ax1+bx2/a+b), (ay1+by1/a+b)} where;

x1 = -5, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = -5, a = 3 and b =1

Substitute the values into the formula;

X = ax2+bx1/a+b

X = 3(-1)+1(-5)/3+1

X = -3-5/4

X = -8/4

X = -2

Similarly;

Y = ay2+by1/a+b

Y = 3(-5)+1(3)/3+1

Y = -15+3/4

Y = -12/4

Y = -3

Hence the coordinate of the point (X, Y) is (-2, -3)
