season against those who lost according to the three categories of
assistance.

b) Calculate the average of home runs per game. To do this,
first find the average of home runs per game; then divide this value
between 162 (a season consists of 162 games). Then multiply by 2,
given that there are two teams in each game. Use the Poisson distribution to
estimate the number of quadrangles that will be batted in a game.

c) The average attendance per team during the season was 2,439 million, with a
standard deviation of 0.618 million. Use the normal distribution to calculate the
number of teams with assistances over 3.5 million. Compare this
result with the real number. Make comments on the accuracy of the calculation.

d) The average salary per team was 121 million dollars, with a deviation
standard of 40 million. Use the normal distribution to calculate the number of
teams with a salary higher than 100 million dollars. Compare this result
with the actual amount. Make comments on the accuracy of your approximation

In this project, we developed some topics of descriptive statistics that

In the initial problems, we apply data analysis, as through the
observation and arrangement of variables, the equipment was arranged according to their
results in the game season. Tables were used to separate the variables.

The second topic was probability, where through percentages and comparisons
between data, a conclusion was reached regarding one another. The
probability formulas among a total of cases.
The third topic was Poisson, which through its formula and the interpretation of
data we reached the answer.
And finally in problem number four, we apply the normal distribution, in the
that this formula was applied and through a total of data and the probability it was reached

Finally, we can say that thanks to statistics and the formulas that
it is possible to conduct an analysis of any data collection, and thus draw
conclusions and interpretations.

normal curve, the two halves are mirror images. It descends smoothly

It has always been in the environment of civilization since there have been forms
simple, in civilization graphical representations and others were already used
symbols for counting the number of people or other things.
also that statistics helps us to collect, analyze, organize, and make
