Chapter 3.1, Problem 8E
During the 2007-2008 NCAA college basketball season, men’s basketball teams attempted an all-time high number of 3-point shots, averaging 19.07 shots per game (Associated Press Sports, January 24, 2009). In an attempt to discourage so many 3-point shots and encourage more inside play, the NCAA rules committee moved the 3-point line back from 19 feet, 9 inches to 20 feet, 9 inches at the beginning of the 2008–2009 basketball season. Shown in the following table are the 3-point shots taken and the 3-point shots made for a sample of 19 NCAA basketball games during the 2008–2009 season.
- a. What is the
mean number of 3-point shots taken per game? - b. What is the mean number of 3-point shots made per game?
- c. Using the closer 3-point line, players were making 35.2% of their shots. What percentage of shots were players making from the new 3-point line?
- d. What was the impact of the NCAA rules change that moved the 3-point line back to 20 feet. 9 inches for the 2008–2009 season? Would you agree with the Associated Press Sports article that stated. “Moving back the 3-point line hasn’t changed the game dramatically”? Explain.

He decides to identify players who are outliers in a few statistics he has chosen. Currently, he's looking at wide receivers. The game includes the top 100 receivers in 2012 by number of receptions. Ted, however, is more interested in receiving yards, and the table shows the five-number summary of the available players in the game (in yards): Minimum 1st quartile (Q1) Median 3rd quartile (Q3) Maximum 258.0 549.5 743.0 936.5 1964.0 The mean is 787.6 yds with a standard deviation of 311.3 yds. Ted first calculates the interquartile range (IQR). Next, to determine suspected outliers, he calculates Q1 1.5 IQR and Q3 + 1.5 - IQR. Specify those results to at least one decimal place. Q1 – 1.5 - IQR = Q3 + 1.5 - 1QR = Ted identified the top five receivers available in the game by the number of receiving yards.
