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

kotykmax [81]

Step-by-step explanation:

take the base square. find the diagonal

16^2+16^2 = 2*16^2= d^2

d= 16√2

half of the diagonal will form the baSe of right triangle of hypotenuse 10. but the base will be 8√2 which is greater than 10. so I feel the slant hr has to be different and more than 10

Find the maximum and minimum values of the function. y=1/2sin2x
kykrilka [37]

Answer:  

(-1/2,1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally for sinx amplitude is 2 (1 +1). In the case when it is half sine amplitude is halved, therefore 0.5 +0.5 = 1 Paramers alpha = 2x does not matter because it only stretches the graph horizontally.
