Slide 4: Research QuestionIf a team has an earned run average above the average for Major League Baseball will they win as many games as teams that have lower than average earned run averages.

Answering this question will show just how important the impact of ERA is on a team's ability to win games.

Slide 5: Research HypothesisThe form for the hypothesis chosen was two-tailed hypothesis.

Null Hypothesis:• (verbal form)Ho: No statistically significant difference exists in the mean wins between teams that have ERAs below the mean and teams that have ERAs above the mean.

•(Numeric form)Ho: μ (ERA below mean) = μ (ERA above mean)Alternate Hypothesis:•(verbal form)H1: A statistically significant difference exists in the mean wins between teams that have ERAs below the mean and teams that have ERAs above the mean.

•(Numeric form)H1: μ (ERA below mean) ≠μ (ERA above mean)Note: The outcome of the two-tailed hypotheses will be that Team A will either reject the null or fail to reject the null.
