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?
2 AnswersMathematics9 years agoIs 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?

1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)9 years agoIs 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?

1 AnswerFootball (American)9 years agoWhat 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?)
6 AnswersBaseball9 years agoWhat 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

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)
4 AnswersFantasy Sports1 decade agoWould 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?

It's that time of year again when fantasy baseball begins! For all of those fantasy baseball fans, I have a proposition!

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.
