  • Confusing Stats Question?

    I'm very confused by what this question is asking:

    Suppose you are interested in estimating the average number of miles per gallon of gasoline your car can get. You calculate the miles per gallon for each of the next 9 times you fill the tank. Suppose, in truth, the values for your car are bell-shaped, with a mean of 25 miles per gallon and a standard deviation of 1. Draw a picture similar to Figure 19.3 of the possible sample means you are likely to get based on your sample of 9 observations. (Include the intervals into which 68%, 95%, and almost all of the potential sample means will fall.)

    We just learned about the rule for sample means in class but I'm not sure if it applies here because it is only 1 car performing the experiment 9 times. The next question asks what the picture would look like if you collect 100 measurements instead of 9. Should it make a difference since it is only one car doing this? And should the picture be a frequency chart or a histogram?

  • Is this not a killer fantasy team?

    Now I know it's only June and there is plenty of time before fantasy football really gets going. But for fun, I tried a mock auction and this is what my team resulted as:

    Moneyball Cruz

    QB Drew Brees 46

    RB Michael Turner 19

    RB Frank Gore 12

    WR Calvin Johnson 55

    WR Andre Johnson 34

    TE Jimmy Graham 24

    FLEX Joe McKnight 1

    D/ST Bears D/ST 1

    K Alex Henery 1

    BE James Jones 1

    BE Daniel Thomas 1

    BE Giants D/ST 1

    BE Reggie Wayne 1

    BE Eddie Royal 1

    BE Jabar Gaffney 1

    BE LeGarrette Blount 1

    Total: 200

    Remaining: 0

    Multiple top stars at most positions mixed with guys on the bench with plenty of potential. Any recommendations of strategy changes?

  • Book reference requirements?

    I'm a high school student and I have to write an 8 page term paper that uses at least 3 BOOK sources. I already have two but I need one more. Does a text book count as a book source or would I need to go out and get another book?

  • College and Sports Management?

    I am a high school junior and I have begun looking into colleges. I would like to enter the sports management field.

    1. What is best way to approach this field going into college (should I get a degree in sports management or a degree in business management with a focus on sports management)?

    2. What are the best colleges that I should apply to for this degree (I have a 4.0 GPA but I need scholarship money wherever I end up going)

    Please leave any links with information on this.

  • Is this a good fantasy basketball trade?

    This is the trade:

    I give: Chris Bosh

    I get: John Wall and Paul Pierce

    The league is a point league:

    Points, Assists, Rebounds, Steals, and Blocks: 1 point each

    Turnover and missed FG and FT: -1 point each

    I am currently loaded at the PF,F,and C spots with Carmelo Anthony, Pau Gasol, DeMarcus Cousins, Andrea Bargnani, and Anderson Varejao. I am weak at the guard spot with Raymond Felton, Tyreke Evans, Jarrett Jack, Jameer Nelson, and Jason Terry.

    I think this trade is a slam dunk. Does everyone agree?

  • What do the Mets get for Reyes?

    It was just reported that the Marlins signed Jose Reyes. They also signed Heath Bell, another Type-A free agent at the beginning of the week. With both players being Type-A free agents, who gets the Marlins 1st round pick, and who gets the second? (I heard something about a team not having to lose their first round pick if it is a top 15 pick. Is this true? How does this effect who gets who?)

  • What do you think of my fantasy team?

    It is a 12 team ESPN league with a snake draft and I had the 10th pick:

    QB: Drew Brees

    RB: Ahmad Bradshaw, Jonathan Stewart

    RB/WR: Michael Bush

    WR: Andre Johnson, Brandon Llyod

    TE: Jermichael Finley

    K: Adam Vinateri

    DEF: Saints

    Bench: Sidney Rice, Lance Moore, Ladanian Tomlinson, Thomas Jones, Deion Branch, Davone Bess,Jason Snelling.

    Please give a rating of 1-10 on skills of starting lineup, a 1-10 rating on the bench, and an overall 1-10 rating with short explanations of each. Before anyone says anything, I don't feel it to be necessary to have a backup QB, TE, K, or DEF

  • Fantasy Baseball Trade?

    What do you think of this trade:

    Brett Gardner

    Mark Reynolds

    Carlos Santana

    for

    David Wright

    Curtis Granderson

    Kurt Suzuki

    I personally don't see anything wrong with this trade, but I wanted a second opinion.

    Notes: Kurt, Wright, and Granderson are starters on my team and are therefore going to be in my starting lineup after the trade on a team that include:

    Ryan Howard

    Rickie Weeks

    Hanley Ramirez

    Jayson Heyward

    Chris young

    Angel Pagan

    (cbs lineup format)

  • Would you do this trade?

    I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I have just agreed to the terms of a blockbuster trade. I will trade Matt Schaub, Ladanian Thomlinson and Greg Jennings for Drew Brees and Steve Smith (Giants). Before you make a verdict, understand my current roster. For running backs, I have LT, Cedric Benson, Brandon Jacobs and Pierre Thomas set to come back from injury on week 11. My league has a two RB 3 WR starting lineup format. For WR, I have Lance Moore, Jennings, Jabar Gaffney, Crabtree, and Mike Sims-Walker. Would you accept this trade? Who has the better end of it?

For those who are up to the challenge, send me an e-mail (not a message because I don't end up with the actual e-mail address) which would include your name and e-mail address.
