(a) The Chicago Cubs broke the Curse of the Billy Goat by winning the World Series in 2016. Find and interpret the z-score for the Chicago Cubs, who had 103 wins in 2016.

Z score = 2.05607

Interpreting the z score, since the z score is positive, this means, the data point is to the right of the mean.

(b) The Chicago White Sox had a z-score of 20.28. Find the number of wins for the Chicago White Sox for 2016.

= 298 wins

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2016, the mean number of wins for teams in Major League Baseball was 81 wins with a standard deviation of 10.7 wins.

(a) The Chicago Cubs broke the Curse of the Billy Goat by winning the World Series in 2016. Find and interpret the z-score for the Chicago Cubs, who had 103 wins in 2016.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

x = 103 wins, μ = 81 wins, σ = 10.7

z = 103 - 81/10.7

z = 2.05607

Interpreting the z score, since the z score is positive, this means, the data point is to the right of the mean.

(b) The Chicago White Sox had a z-score of 20.28. Find the number of wins for the Chicago White Sox for 2016.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

From the above question, we are asked to find the number of wins, this means we should find the raw score = x

z = 20.28, x = ? μ = 81 , σ = 10.7

Hence,

20.28 = x - 81/10.7

Cross Multiply

20.28 × 10.7 = x - 81

216.996 = x - 81

x = 216.996 + 81

x = 297.996

x is approximately 298 wins

Therefore, the number of wins for the Chicago White Sox for 2016 is approximately 298 wins
