Question

Another idea is to look at how a team's payroll impacts its home attendance. Higher payroll usually signals more higher-skilled players on a roster which should brings fans to the ballpark to see these players.

  1. Create 2 samples based on Team Salary and calculate average attendance, variance of attendance, and standard deviation of attendance for each sample.
  • Sample 1 = 10 teams with the highest team salary
  • Sample 2 = 10 teams with the lowest team salary

 

Tip: Use Excel's sorting tool to sort the data by salary (highest to lowest), and copy the 10 highest and 10 lowest into a separate part of the spreadsheet for easier analysis.

 

 

Sample 1

Sample 2

 

Top 10 Team Salary

Bottom 10 Team Salary

Sample mean attendance

 mil

 mil

Sample attendance  variance

 mil

 mil

Sample attendance standard deviation

 mil

 mil

 

  1. Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether there is a difference in the mean attendance of teams between the two groups created in Part F. Use a 0.05 level of significance in your testing procedures.

 

Hint: When calculating your pooled sample variance and your test statistic, assume the Top 10 data is sample 1 and the Bottom 10 data is sample 2.

 

Decision Rule

-t <   or  t >   =   REJECT H0

Value of Pooled Sample Variances

 

Value of test statistic

 

Decision: enter Reject or Do Not Reject

 

 

Is there a difference in the mean attendance between the two groups assuming a 0.05 level of significance? Enter Yes or No.  

 

Another variable that can impact attendance is the team's win-loss record. Teams that are winning more games are thought to have increased attendance as fans prefer to see their home team "win" rather than "lose" (although for some teams such as the Chicago Cubs, this is not always an established relationship!). 

  1. Create 2 samples based on Wins and calculate average wins, wins variance, and wins standard deviation for each sample.
  • Sample 1 = 10 teams with the highest wins
  • Sample 2 = 10 teams with the lowest wins
