Access the data about the salaries (in millions of dollars) of the National Baseball League players, which are available at MyMathLab and at the Pearson Downloadable Student Resources for Math & Stats website.
a. Construct a pie chart of the positions of the players.
b. What proportion of the players are pitchers? The abbreviations SP, RP, and CL stand for starting pitchers, relief pitchers, and closers (a pitcher who specializes in finishing a game), respectively.
c. For each position, compute the median salary. Which position has the largest median salary?
d. Compute the median salaries and salary ranges for third basemen (3B) and the median salaries and salary ranges for catchers (C). If a player has typical skills for both positions, at which of the two positions would he tend to earn a larger salary?
e. If a player is a better third baseman and catcher than most players in those positions, at which of the two positions would he tend to earn a larger salary?
