48 45 49 32 49 44 44 49 44 22 37 32 32
36 32 39 46 45 41 22 39 39 43 40 40 49

a. Find the mean and standard deviation of number of home runs hit by the American League home-run champions during the years given in the table.

Column1

Mean 40.35897436
Standard Error 1.237344671
Median 41
Mode 32
Standard Deviation 7.727214993
Sample Variance 59.70985155
Kurtosis 0.969910322
Skewness -0.149774862
Range 39
Minimum 22
Maximum 61
Sum 1574
Count 39

The mean for the number of home runs hit by the American League home-run champions is 40.358974 The standard deviation for the number of home runs hit by the American League home-run champions is 7.727215

b. Assuming that the data are approximately normally distributed, use the empirical rule to find an interval of values within which approximately 68 percent of the data falls. Count the number of data values that actually fall within that interval. Is it close to 68 percent?

c. Use the empirical rule to find the interval of values within which approximately 95 percent of the data falls. Count the number of data values that actually fall within that interval. Is it close to 95 percent?

d. Use the empirical rule to find the interval of values within which approximately 99.7 percent of the data falls. Count the number of data values that actually fall within that interval. Is it close to 99.7 percent?
