Question

Spellman college 10 wins, 18 losses home games

Morehouse college 9 wins, 19 losses home games

Spellman college 12 wins, 4 losses away games

Morehouse college 56 wins, 20 losses

A. Give numerical evidence to support the claim that spelman college has a better team than morehouse college

Answer 1

Spellman is 22 and 22 which is 50% or as they say 0.500 , very weak at home but strong on the road.

Morehouse is 56 and 20 which is 56/79 just under 71%. They too are weak at home and strong on the

road with an away record of 56-9 = 47 wins and only 20-19=1 loss

the numerical evidence supports that MOREHOUSE is the better team.

Unless you have some data of their games where they played each other, or a reason as to why

Morehouse plays 76 games while Spellman only plays 44, the statement cannot be supported.

Sorry
