Chapter 1.2, Problem 74E

To determine

The Compare the histograms of salaries of Yankees and Phillies.

Explanation of Solution

Given:The data distribution of salaries of Yankees and Phillies as shown below

  

The data distribution of salaries of Yankees range from 0 - 4 million’s to 32 - 36 million’s. The shape of the distribution is skewed to right and there is gap between class interval’s 20 − 24 and 32 − 36 million’s, so this will be an outlier.

The data distribution of salaries of Phillies range from 0 − 4 million’s to 12 − 16 million’s. The shape of the distribution is skewed to right.

There are bars in class intervals 12 − 16, 16 − 20, 20 − 24, 32 − 34 in data distribution of Yankees. So we conclude the salaries of Yankees are more when compared to that of salaries of Phillies.
