et's look at attendance between the two leagues and draw some conclusions. For purposes parts D and E, we are assuming that separating the data into 2 groups based on League is considered sampling; thus, we have 2 samples (American League and National League) and assume we do NOT know the population standard deviations for both "populations" (we only have 1 overall population, not 2).
