Answer the following questions using procedures described ¡n the Using Technology boxes in this unit or with (available in MyLab Math).
51. Comparing Averages. The f́ve starting players on two basket ball teams (Team A and Team B) have the following weights in pounds.
A: {160, 155. 125, 115, 115} B: {145, HO, 135. 125, 110)
Use a calculator, Excel, or so to answer the following questions.
a. Compute the mean, median, and mode of the starting player weights for each team. Then decide if or how each coach could make a claim to have the heavier team.
b. Is the mean weight of the two teams combined equal to Eh mean of the two mean weights found for the teams individually? Explain.
c. Is the median weight of the two teams combined equal to the median of the two median weights found for the teams individually? Explain.
