Explanation:
There may be a couple of reasons for this:
1. Each team represents a sample of the players in the league. The averages of (random) samples can be expected to have a standard deviation that is smaller than the population standard deviation by a factor related to sample size.
2. A team average will result from the players who are played the most. Each team can be expected to field players more often whose averages are among the highest. The standard deviation of a set of the top tier of players will necessarily be smaller than the standard deviation of the set of all players.
Answer: The answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer would be C
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the data, you can tell that the first two are going to be wrong. The minimum is 1, and the maximum is 5.
A mode, by definition, is the number that appears most in the data. According to answer D, 3 appears 3 times in the data. That is incorrect, as 3 only appears twice in the data.
This leaves only answer C. We need to make sure it's correct. The answer mentions the mean as a value between 2 and 3. Mean is the average. To find the average, you must add all the values together first.
1 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 3 = 23
Then, you must divide the value by the number of data given. There are 8 numbers here, so you must divide 23 by 8.
23/8 = 2.875
2.875 is between the numbers 2 and 3 like answer C said, so C is correct.
