Which of the following statements is true based on the data set?
No following statements.
Also it would be easier to respond to if the data were shown as
9,12,8,7....
To find the true statement based on the given data set, we need to analyze the numbers. Let's consider each statement:
1. All softball teams have the same number of players.
To determine if this statement is true, we need to check if all the numbers in the data set are equal. By looking at the data set, we can see that the numbers vary, so this statement is not true.
2. The majority of softball teams have 10 players.
To check if this statement is true, we need to find out which number appears most frequently in the data set. We can do this by creating a frequency distribution or by simply visually inspecting the data set. By looking at the numbers, we can see that the number 7 appears the most frequently, not 10. Therefore, this statement is not true.
3. There is one softball team with an unusually high number of players.
To check if this statement is true, we need to identify if there is a number in the data set that is significantly larger than the rest. By looking at the numbers, we can see that the number 21 is higher than the rest, suggesting that there is one team with an unusually high number of players. Therefore, this statement is true.
Based on the analysis, the true statement is that there is one softball team with an unusually high number of players.
