Comparing Tom Brady and Jimmy Butler:

For Tom Brady's passing yards, the mean is 312.7, and the standard deviation is 95.98.

For Jimmy Butler's field goal percentage, we calculated the z-score as 0.458.

To compare the two z-scores, we need to check which z-score is farther from its respective mean. A z-score farther from the mean indicates a better performance relative to others in their sport.

The z-score for Tom Brady's passing yards can be calculated as (312.7 - 162.86) / 95.98 1.558.

Comparing the z-scores, we can see that Tom Brady's z-score (1.558) is higher than Jimmy Butler's z-score (0.458). This indicates that Tom Brady's performance in terms of passing yards is relatively better compared to other NFL quarterbacks than Jimmy Butler's performance in terms of field goal percentage compared to other NBA players.

Therefore, based on the z-scores, Tom Brady was better in 2020 relative to others in his sport (football) than Jimmy Butler was in his sport (basketball).

ANSWER THIS QUESTION REGARDING THE TEXT ABOVE :

who did you think was better in their respective sport and why?

I think Tom would be the better player, relative to others in their respective sports because they both have z-scores to the right of the mean which would mean that they both have a higher than average total. But since Tom's z-score is farther to the right of the average than Jimmy's, I would say he is scoring on average more than his members in comparison to how much more Jimmy is above the average of his members.
