Question:

Winning team data were collected for teams in different sports, with the results given in the table on the top of the next page (based on data from “Predicting Professional Sports Game Outcomes from Intermediate Game Scores,” by Copper, DeNeve, and Mosteller, Chance, Vol. 5, No. 3–4). Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that home>visitor wins are independent of the sport. Given that among the four sports included here, baseball is the only sport in which the home team can modify field dimensions to favor its own players, does it appear that baseball teams are effective in using this advantage?
