The number of home runs hit by each of the 18 regular right fielders during the 1961 Major League baseball season is given in the following table (regular is being defined as the player that started the most games in right field for each team that season):
a) What proportion of the data is within 1 standard deviation of the sample mean?
b) Construct a histogram using classes of size 8 using 0 as the minimum possible value.
| Player | Team | Home Runs |
| Whitey Herzog | BAL(AL) | 5 |
| Jackie Jensen | BOS(AL) | 13 |
| Floyd Robinson | CHI(AL) | 11 |
| George Altman | CHI(NL) | 27 |
| Wally Post | CIN(NL) | 20 |

| Felipe Alou | SF(NL) | 18 |
| Charlie James | STL(NL) | 4 |
| Marty Keough | WAS(AL) | 9 |
Solution
a)sample standard deviation | 15.26
b)can\'t do too well, don\'t know the tools
but it\'s 6 in the first column cause 6 there and then just count how many between 8 and 16, then 17 and 24 etc.
